Abstract

The geometrid genus Menophra includes many species inhabiting the Palaearctic and Indo-Malayan regions. However, no species of the genus have hitherto been recorded from the Philippines. In this paper I will describe one new species from North Luzon, mainly based on the material collected by Dr. M. OWADA, who visited the Philippines in 1985 as a member of the Overseas Scientific Research project of the National Science Museum (Nat. Hist.). Before going further, I wish to express my cordial thanks to Dr. Mamoru OWADA, the National Science Museum (Nat. Hist.), Tokyo, who gave me a good opportunity to study part of the Geometridae from the Philippines, and also to Dr. Hiroshi INOUE, Otsuma Women's University, who gave me much invaluable advice in the course of my study and read the manuscript of this paper.
