As the 4 th part in a series of papers on the family Lecithoceridae (Lepidoptera, Gelechioidea) of New Guinea, the genus Pectinimura Park is reviewed, describing P. singularis sp. nov., P. areola sp. nov., P. brahmanica sp. nov., and P. gilvicostata sp. nov. Four previously known species belonging to Lecithocera are transferred to Pectinimura: P. baryoma (Diakonoff), comb. nov., P. liberalis (Diakonoff), comb. nov., P. lutescens (Diakonoff), comb. nov., and P. rhabdostoma (Diakonoff), comb. nov.
