Mesovelia cf. horvathi auct.

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: PA12, 3 apterous males, 3 apterous females.

Notes. This species was previously treated under the name Mesovelia horvathi LUNDBLAD, 1933 (e.g., GAPUD 1986, FREITAG & ZETTEL 2012, ZETTEL 2014). However, in a recent study on the Indian fauna ( JEHAMALAR et al. 2019), more details about this taxon – originally described from Java – became known, so that Philippine populations probably belong to one or several undescribed species (see also PELINGEN et al. 2020).
