(Plate 5, Fig. 8 View FIGURES 7 – 9 ; gen. fig. 40)

Holotype. Male, Philippines, N. Palawan, S. Vicente, 20 km NEE Roxas, 10º21’N, 119º10’E, 600 m, 12.–17.I.1988, leg. Cerny & Schintlmeister, slide No.: LGN 2155 (coll. HNHM).

Diagnosis. Fragilonola parentela appears as an allopatric sister species of F. igorkostjuki occurring in the Philippines. The two sister species are externally almost identical, the distinctive characters are expressed in the configuration of the male genitalia. F. parentela has, in comparison with F. igorkostjuki , somewhat shorter and thicker uncus, considerably shorter and broader valva, and slightly larger bifurcate harpe with apically rounded arms (these arms are apically pointed in F. igorkostjuki ). Last but not least, the aedeagus of the new species is somewhat shorter than that of F. igorkostjuki .
