Abstract
The species list of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) of the Baikal region (Russia) is supplemented. The distribution of seven geometrid species in the region is specified. Seven species are recorded in the study area for the first time: Chlorissa obliterata (Walker, 1863), Scotopteryx acutangulata (Inoue, 1941), Entephria byssata (Aurivillius, 1891), Minoa lutea Schwingenschuss, 1954, Eupithecia sophia Butler, 1878, Idaea dimidiata (Hufnagel, 1767), and Scopula flaccidaria (Zeller, 1852). One species is recorded for the first time in Russia: Charissa beljaevi Erlacher, Marrero et Erlacher, 2017. A new combination is established: Nebula korschunovi comb. n. A library of DNA barcodes for Geometridae of the Baikal region is created for the first time; it includes 631 nucleotide sequences of the COI gene fragment for 312 species, or 86% of the regional fauna. Analysis of these DNA barcodes and the morphology of the specimens for which they were obtained yields the following results: (1) one new species, Chlorissa obliterata, is recorded for the regional fauna; (2) 28 cases of erroneous species identification published in the literature and in public databases are revealed; (3) three pairs of morphologically similar sibling species are unambiguously discriminated using DNA barcodes: Macaria alternata ([Denis et Schiffermüller], 1775) and M. shanghaisaria Walker, 1861; Isturgia murinaria ([Denis et Schiffermüller], 1775) and I. kaszabi Vojnits, 1974; Chlorissa viridata (Linnaeus, 1758) and Ch. obliterata; (4) the Baikal populations of five species show a considerable level of genetic differentiation (with genetic divergence of 3% or more as compared with the European and/or East Asian populations), indicating the need for their taxonomic revision.

Funding
The material collection was carried out within the framework of State research projects AAAA-A19-119020690101-6 and AAAA-A19-119020790106-0. The molecular research and DNA barcoding were supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project 19-14-00202 at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences). Research was carried out using the equipment of the Chromas research resource center of St. Petersburg State University (sample preparation and DNA sequencing) and the Core Facilities Center “Taxon” of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (making photos of genitalia preparations).
