Description

Mistshenkoana sp. 1

(Fig. 12)

Material examined. 1 female (UPLG.19.54), Philippines, Luzon Island, Laguna, Paete, Barangay Ilaya, UP Land Grant, N14.39978, E121.54204, 325.3±6.0 m.a.s.l., on foliage, 1955 hours, 6 September 2019, coll. M. K. Tan, J. B. Baroga-Barbecho, C. C. Lucañas and S. A. Yap, pinned.

Remarks. The female specimen resembles M. gracilis female allotype from Panay and M. cicur female holotype from Luzon; but differs from M. cicur holotype by slightly more numerous cross-veins between R and Sc, with slightly thicker infumation; subgenital plate with posterior margin truncated and not narrowly excised in the middle (although the excision in the female holotype of M. cicur may be aberration or results of damage). It is also differs from M. gracilis female allotype by fewer spots on the body (including head, pronotal dorsal disc and legs); more numerous and finer cross-veins between R and Sc and between Sc projections; shape of subgenital plate tapering to a narrowly concave apex (instead of broadly concave apex). With the males and females still requiring further examination (only one female specimen available), we tentatively keep this specimen as a morphospecies.
