Sejanus isarog Schuh 1984

Description

Sejanus isarog Schuh Figure 36

Sejanus isarog Schuh, 1984: 174, figs. 498, 572, 583–585 (diag., descr., disc., n. sp., diag., descr., DV, MG).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by castaneous coloration, two large white spots on anterior margin of cuneus fused along midline and almost forming a white band, yellowish antennal segments 3 and 4, distal portion of profemur, pro- and mesotibiae, and all tarsi, and tubelike endosoma with an almost triangular-shaped secondary gonopore.

DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Philippine Islands.

DISCUSSION: The secondary gonopore in S. isarog is very similar in shape to that of S. neofunereus, but the external morphology, particularly the coloration of the anterior margin of the cuneus, clearly distinguished the two species.
