We allocated some new types of bait traps using different volatile aromatic compounds in the Velyka Dobron’ Game Reserve (Ukraine, Transcarpathian region) where light trap surveys on Macroheterocera were already carried out since 2009. The phenylacetaldehydebased traps were especially effective for the species of subfamilies Plusiinae and Heliothinae, while the members of some other subfamilies (Hadeninae, Noctuinae) were more attracted by the isoamyl-alcohol-based traps. The highest attractivity was observed in case of the mixture containing isoamyl-alcohol, acetic acid and red wine. The highest number of species was observed in mid-July, but the peak of individual numbers appeared in early August.
