Let Mn and Nn be n-dimensional closed smooth oriented Zp-manifolds where p is an odd prime and Zp is the cyclic group of order p. This paper determines necessary and sufficient conditions under which Mn and Nn are equivalent under a special equivariant cut and past equivalence.

The only invariants are (a) the Euler characteristics of the Zp-manifolds, (b) the Euler characteristics of the fixed point manifolds in each fixed point dimesnion with specified normal representations, and (c) the oriented Zp-stratified cobordism class of the Zp-manifolds.
