Abstract

Four species and one subspecies of the genus Monema Walker, 1855 are recognized from China, in which M. tanaognatha Wu & Pan sp. n. is described as new, M. coralina Dudgeon, 1895 and M. meyi Solovyev & Witt, 2009 are newly recorded for China. The female of M. meyi is reported for the first time. Monema nigrans de Joannis, 1901 and M. melli Hering, 1931 are synonymized with M. flavescens Walker, 1855. Cnidocampa rubriceps Matsumura, 1931 is regarded here as a subspecies of Monema flavescens Walker, 1855. The photographs of moths and their genitalia are given. A key to the species of the genus is provided.
