We present here the data of the Lepidoptera species that we encountered in four Southern Transylvania (Romania) districts from 1966 to 2017. These were: Braşov, Covasna, Hunedoara and Sibiu. During this interval we identified 641 species in this area. Coleophora chalcogrammella, Wheeleria obsoletus, Hellinsia tephradactyla, Cadra cautella and Euchromius ocellea are first records for the region of Transylvania. We document the presence of the black locust leaf miner Parectopa robiniella from multiple, characteristic leaf mines found at Şinca Veche, Braşov, as well as that of the horse chestnut leaf miner Cameraria ohridella in Braşov, from muliple leaf mines and adult moths.
