Lophyra (Spilodia) striolata tenuiscripta (Fleutiaux, 1893) View in CoL

Material examined. PHILIPPINES, Apayao Province, Municipality of Calanasan, 2♀♀, Brgy. Tanglagan [18.4457°N, 120.9734°E], IX-X.2018, coll. R.J. T. Villanueva ( Fig. 4B); UMCRC 010141, UMCRC 010142.

Identification. This species is very similar to the three other subspecies of L. striolata in the Philippines — L. (S.) striolata dorsolineolata (Chevrolat, 1845) , L. (S.) striolata striolata (Illiger, 1800) , and L. (S.) striolata uniens (W. Horn, 1896) —in having a head with decumbent setae clustered dorsally at posterior margin of each eye, lateral margins of pronotum setose but it is differ- ent on the humeral lunule which forms a narrow crescent, and connected middle and posterior maculation forming an even band ( Wiesner et al. 2017). The other three Lophyra species have entirely different elytral pat- terns— L.uniens having middle maculation forming a single band, L. dorsolineolata having a lateral maculation that stretches from the anterior to posterior end of the elytron, and L. striolata having isolated markings and not forming an even band.

Endemism and distribution. A widespread Oriental species; India (Maharashta, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Western Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam, Sikkim), Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia ( Malacca, Borneo), Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China (Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan), Indonesia (Sumatra, S. Utara, S. Barat, Bengkulu, S. Selatan), Jawa, Bali, Sulawesi (S. Selatan, S. Tenggara), Philippines ( Cabras et al. 2016b; Wiesner et al. 2017).

Remarks. This species was only seen in Barangay Tanglagan, where it was sunning itself along the road in a lowland area near the forest edge.
