| Abstract: | Merrifieldia renatae sp. n., a new species of Pterophorinae (Pterophoridae) is described from Slovenia. The adult and its male and female genitalia are fi gured. Descriptions and illustrations of the larva, pupa, and habitat, including host plant, are provided. The new species is compared with both the similar and closely related M. baliodactyla (Zeller, 1841) and M. tridactyla (Linnaeus, 1758). M. menthae (Chrétien, 1925), recognized by some lepidopterists as a valid species, is also discussed. |
