C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The basal bulb of the aedeagus is often weakly sclero-

tized and may be deformed by dissections, as in the lectotype. The species has typically a

shorter basal bulb and a longer apical process of the median lobe than shown in the rede-

scription (LÖBL 1972). Therefore, new illustrations of the aedeagus (Figs 72, 73) are

given in the present paper. Specimens collected in Palawan and Negros have elytral

punctation coarser than that in specimens coming from Luzon.
