Type. Not located MNHN in 2013 by Ballantyne .

Material examined. PHILIPPINES. Mt Banahao , 2 males. Male 1 labelled 1. Mt Banahao P. I. Baker (printed); 2. C. F. Baker collection (printed); 3 17140 (hand written); Luciola abdominalis E. Oliv. (hand written) with ‘ Pic’ in bottom left corner of label. Male 2 label 1 as above; 2. 2819 (hand written in ink). ( USNM). This information correlates with that given by the original description of Olivier (1886) .

Diagnosis. The only species of Atyphella known from the Philippines and the only species with pale coloured elytra having a small dark coloured area at their apices ( Fig. 180 View FIGURES 180−187 ; see Table 9 View TABLE 9 and Ballantyne et al. 2016 Table 5 View TABLE 5 ); differs from Aquil. costata most obviously in dorsal colour pattern as costata has orange coloured elytra and is only known from northern Australia; pronotum with a median dark marking ( Fig. 181 View FIGURES 180−187 ) which expands laterally along the anterior margin; MS and MN paler than elytra which are light brownish yellow with a small dark apical area, and are without well-defined interstitial lines; head with rounded frons vertex junction; apical labial palpomere broadly triangular with 2 teeth along the inner margin; basal abdominal ventrites very dark brown almost black ( Fig. 182 View FIGURES 180−187 ); abdominal tergites all very dark brown except for pale T8 ( Fig. 184 View FIGURES 180−187 ). Olivier (1886) described this species from one specimen and this characterisation is based on Pic (1924) and specimens identified by him in USNM, which we feel are consistent with Olivier’s original description. Aedeagal sheath and aedeagus ( Figs 185−187 View FIGURES 180−187 ).
