Stenelmis sp.

Material examined.

1 ♀ (CFM): "PHIL.: Luzon, Quezon City, Ateneo de Manila Campus, near San Jose Seminary, creek side pool, leaf litter; 14°38'05.6"N, 121°04'50.2"E, 38m asl.; leg. H. Freitag 28.Jun.2013 (ADM2e)M".

Remarks.

Surprisingly, this specimen was collected from an almost stagnant (feeder rivulet present) and temporary pool. Stenelmis species are usually restricted to streams. Although a single female specimen does not allow a proper determination, it is not unlikely that it belongs to a new species as well since only Stenelmis palawana Delève is known from the country, while several Philippine Stenelmis s.l. are still undescribed ( Freitag and Pangantihon 2010; material at NMW, SMTD and CFM).
