Remarks. In Misamis Occidental, this species has been reported in the tributaries of Clarin River to the east of Mount Malindang. New material was collected from Lake Linao to the west side of Mount Malindang from recent field sampling.

There are minor differences in the colour patterns, particularly the dorsum of its femur is not black in the specimens from Mount Malindang, in contrast to the species from Mount Apo and Clarin River. Colour variations were also noted by Ingrisch (2015) between the specimen from Mount Apo and from Clarin River. However, as we do not observe clear-cut differences in the male abdominal apex and titillators ( Fig. 14 View FIGURE 14 ), we do not consider the material from different parts of Mindanao as different species.

Distribution. Davao del Sur: Mount Apo; Misamis Occidental: Clarin River, Lake Linao [new locality record].

Ecology. At Lake Linao, this species was quite abundant among shrubs and tall grasses mixed with herbaceous plants ( Fig. 15 View FIGURE 15 ). At night, adults and juveniles were observed to feed on flowers on numerous occasions ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 ).
