Abstract

In the second part of this study on the Oecophorid genus Meleonoma Meyrick, eight species are treated. Among them, three species, Meleonoma badia sp. nov., M. obscurior sp. nov., and M. ochrocephala sp. nov., are described as new to science. A new species group, the M. badia-group, is proposed in this study. Additionally, the study presents detailed illustrations of adult specimens, wing venations, and male and female genitalia of all species treated.
