Abstract
The unistriatella species group of the genus Promalactis Meyrick, 1908 is proposed based on the forewing patterns. Seven new species are described: P. curviprocessa sp. nov., P. digitiuncata sp. nov., P. equisaccula sp. nov., P. circimacularis sp. nov., P. foliuncata sp. nov., P. spinivalvaris sp. nov., and P. tenuiclavata sp. nov. Photographs of adults and genitalia of the new species are provided.
