Abstract
This paper reports 16 species of the family Pterophoridae from Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. One species, Pterophorus attenuatus sp. nov. is described as new to science. Images of all the adults and the illustration of the genitalia of the new species are provided. A key for the identification of Hong Kong pterophorid moths is given.References
