Description

The Stathmopoda pedella species-group is newly proposed and characterized by the absence of forewing vein CuA_2, the presence of a pair of small projections on the cephalic margin of the tegumen and the very large cucullus in the male genitalia. Five new species, S. pullicuneata n. sp., S. atridorsalis n. sp., S. dorsioculella n. sp., S. sericicola n. sp. and S. centihasta n. sp. are included in the species-group in Japan. The adult external characters, wing venation and male and female genitalia of two known Japanese species belonging to the species-group, S. pedella (Linnaeus, 1761) and S. stimulata Meyrick, 1913, as well as of the five new species are illustrated and compared in detail.
