This study documents the first occurrence of Aglossa caprealis (Hübner, [1809]) in India, with a specimen collected in the Shopian district of the Kashmir Valley. Based on observations from similar habitats, the species’ tentative range includes the Kashmir region, northern Jammu, and potentially extends to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran. An IUCN Red List assessment using the GeoCAT tool classifies the species as Least Concern (LC), with an estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) of 207,099,692.893 km². This first confirmed record in the Indian subcontinent highlights a significant range expansion and provides critical insights into its South and Central Asian distribution.
