Fifteen species of the genus Lecithocera Herrich-Schäffer, 1853 including seven new species (L. leytensis Park & Mey, sp. n., L. insulana Park & Mey, sp. n., L. lunulata Park & Mey, sp. n., L. distigmata Park & Mey, sp. n., L. strigana Park & Mey, sp. n., L. luzonica Park & Mey, sp. n., and L. stenocaltalexis Park & Mey, sp. n.), one newly recorded species from the Philippines (L. castanoma Wu, 1997), and seven previously known species, are recognized in the Philippines. Of the previously known species, L. megalopis Meyrick, 1916, L. improvisa Diakonoff, 1967 and L. leucomastis Diakonoff. 1967 were not found again and are treated here only briefly. Images of adults and male genitalia of the new and newly known species are provided, and available taxonomic data for the species are given.
