C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The basal bulb of the aedeagus is often weakly sclero-

tized and may be deformed by dissections, as in the lectotype. The species has typically a

shorter basal bulb and a longer apical process of the median lobe than shown in the rede-

scription ( LÖBL 1972). Therefore, new illustrations of the aedeagus ( Figs 72, 73 ) are

given in the present paper. Specimens collected in Palawan and Negros have elytral

punctation coarser than that in specimens coming from Luzon.
