An initial checklist of moths of Jeli, Kelantan is prented. A total of 673 individuals of macromoths (Heterocera) comprising of 161 species belonging to 12 families were recorded from light traps samples. Among the 12 families encountered, two major families of macromoths namely Noctuidae and Geometridae reprented the most diver families with 28 and 44 species respectively. Overall, the four least diver families were Limacodidae, Europtidae, Uraniidae and Saturniidae with 2,3,3 and 5 species encountered.

1. Introduction
Studies on moth diversity in different habitats
and conditions in Malaysia such as tropical rainforest (Barlow & Woiwod, 1989; Schulze & Fiedler, 1997), lowland tropical rainforest (Robinson & Tuck, 1993; Intachat & Holloway, 2000), hill dipterocarp forest (Abang & Karim, 2005), peat swamp forest (Abang & Karim, 1999) and plantation area (Chey, 1994) elucidated that the diversity values differed due to the difference in altitudes, vegetation types and status of the forests. The sites of the mixed dipterocarp forest, mostly gave quite low values in diversity (Holloway, 1984). One of the factors that have been considered as contributing to the lower moth diversity in the lowland areas is the predominance of dipterocarps, which are known to have a high content of alkaloids (defence against incts) in their foliage (Holloway, 1984). The study on the zonation in the Lepidoptera of northern Sulawesi found that the peak of diversity occurred between 600m to 1000m (Holloway, et al ., 1990). nother study on moth diversity from a condary hill
dipterocarp forest at the altitude of 600m in Genting Sempah, Pahang by Barlow & Woiwood (1989) also produced a comparatively high moth diversity value.
The knowledge on the macromoth species
diversity and distribution within rainforest in Peninsular Malaysia is still rather inadequately known. To date, no attempt was made for macromoth studies in Kelantan, particularly in Jeli district. Jeli (longitude: 5.7333 and latitude: 101.8) is 90 kilometer from Kota Bharu town, Kelantan, which is mainly vegetated by lowland and hill dipterocarp forests, surrounded by agricultural plantation and infrastructure development.
There are many threats such as environment
destruction, deforestation, pollution and depletion of natural resources for locals with its greatest challenges lie between striking a balance between development and conrvation. It becomes more crucial to document the diversity of moths in the vicinity. The primary aim of this study was to survey the macromoths species of Jeli and in particular to prepare a preliminary checklist of macromoths species of Jeli.

54 A macromoths preliminary survey was
conducted in Jeli district (longitude: 5.7333 and latitude: 101.8) of Kelantan, Malaysia. A total of 648 traps nights were achieved to document the macro moths diversity from 18 September 2013 to 31 October 2013, samples were collected by using two modified Pennsylvanian light traps. The light traps were t up at three different sampling sites in Jeli district namely Gunung Stong Tengah State Park (N 05°20.362’’, E 101°58.521’’), Jeli Permanent Forest Rerve (N 05°44.744’’, E101°51.893’’) and Gemang (N
05°44.727’’ E101°51.944’’). Light trapping were operated from 1900 to 0700 hours, the trapped macro moths were collected the following morning. The collected macromoths were extracted, pinned, labelled, sorted and followed by identification to species level. Species identification and the nomenclature ud, follows Barlow (1982) and Holloway (1983, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999). The collected specimens were deposited at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan Jeli Campus Inctarium.

Table 1 prents the preliminary checklist of
the macromoths collected from three sampling sites in Jeli district namely Gunung Stong Tengah State Park, Jeli Permanent Forest Rerve and Gemang. A total number of 673 individuals of macromoths comprising of 161 species from 12 families were collected from the light traps sampling.
Among the 12 families encountered, two
major families of macromoths namely Noctuidae and Geometridae reprent the most diver families with 28 and 44 species respectively.
Overall, the four least diver families were
Limacodidae, Europtidae, Uraniidae and Saturniidae with 2,3,3 and 5 species encountered.
Gemang was found to document a high
diversity of the macromoths in Jeli followed by Jeli Permanent Forest Rerve and Gunung Stong Tengah State Park. Most of the species collected were lowland macroheterocerous moths.
However, if sampling in Gunung Stong
Tengah and Jeli Permanent Forest Rerve was conducted at higher altitudes and over a much longer period, the species diversity would be much higher.
