Abstract

Ten new species of the genus Periacma Meyrick, 1894 are described: P. anterosinuata sp. nov., P. falcata sp. nov., P. largiloba sp. nov., P. laterispinulosa sp. nov., P. platygnatha sp. nov., P. ludingensis sp. nov., P. mediacantha sp. nov., P. securiformis sp. nov., P. solitaridens sp. nov. and P. subaequalis sp. nov. Periacma lianzhouensis (Wang, 2006) comb. nov. is transferred from the genus Irepacma to the present genus. The females of P. acriuncata Wang, Li & Liu, 2001, P. ferialis Meyrick, 1894, P. lianzhouensis (Wang, 2006), P. nepalensis Ueda et Moriuti, 1996 and P. rectignatha Wang et Li, 2006 are described for the first time. Periacma himalayensis Ueda et Moriuti, 1996, P. kunai Moriuti, Saito et Lewvanich, 1985, P. nakhonnayokensis Moriuti, Saito et Lewvanich, 1985 and P. nepalensis Ueda et Moriuti, 1996 are newly recorded for the Chinese fauna. Images of the new species and the newly described females are provided, and a global checklist of the described Periacma species is included.
