Material examined.
Holotype: ♀, with labels: "Philippinen | Mindanao, 1050m | Mt Agtuuganon | 28.5-7.6.[19]96, leg. MEY"; "DNA voucher | Lepidoptera | date: i.2018 | MTD7416 | [vertically written:] DNA-voucher"; "TL | 616 ♀". Deposited in MFNB.
Paratypes: 12 ♂, 4 ♀. Philippines: 12 ♂(1 with DNA voucher MTD8149 & genitalia on slide TL708 ♂, 2 with genitalia on slide TL675 ♂, TL676 ♂), 4 ♀ (1 with DNA voucher MTD7415 & genitalia on slide TL617 ♀), same data as holotype (MFNB).
Diagnosis.
In H. agtuuganonensis sp. nov., median markings of the forewing form together a pale yellow band progressively narrowing toward dorsum, faintly disrupted with red at veins. In male genitalia, uncus is long, slender, narrowed at apical 1/4 and gnathos projection is long and slender. In female genitalia, ductus bursae is long, broad, with one loop, and corpus bursae is small, globular, with one short plump thorn.

Thorax (Fig. 39 View Figures 34–45 ). Collar pale yellow to white. Forewing length: 8-9 mm (♂), 9 mm (♀); forewing ground colour brown; basal reddish brown quadrangular patch basally edged with pale yellow, crossed by longitudinal pale yellow streak, with median cubital and dorsal patches abutting dorsally; costal field reddish brown; median discoidal stigma trapezoid, pale yellow, filled with reddish brown, basal and distal edges marked with reddish brown, together with two pale yellow cubital patches forming a broad band narrowing toward dorsum; postmedian patch triangular, reddish brown, speckled with pale yellow, with pale yellow blotch at costa; postmedian area suffused with pale yellow; subterminal line pale yellow; subterminal field reddish brown; fringes brown, with large pale yellow spots. Hindwing pale brown. Fore- and midlegs brown. Hindlegs with femur brown; tibia pale yellow speckled with brown; tarsi brown.
Abdomen. Male sternum A8 posterior margin bilobed.
Male genitalia (N = 2) (Fig. 78 View Figures 76–81 ). Uncus long and slender, gently tapering toward apex, narrowed at apical 1/4, apex spatulate. Gnathos projection slender, ca. 2/3 of uncus length, apex blunt. Valva ventral margin straight, bent dorsad on distal 1/3, dorsal margin convex, apex rounded. Juxta with base quadrangular, with straight lateral margin, apex blunt. Saccus triangular, conspicuously pointing dorsad.
Female genitalia (N = 3) (Fig. 118 View Figures 115–118 ). Anterior apophyses with dorsal tip at basal 1/3. Antrum sclerotisation short, ca. as long as broad. Ductus bursae long, broad, with one loop. Corpus bursae small, globular, reticulated, with roughly defined sclerotisation between thorn and corpus opening. Thorn plump, straight, with small dents pointing toward thorn base, basally with small outwardly projected extension.
