MATERIAL

Material examined: 2 ♂, 17 ♀ (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh)

DIAGNOSIS

In the forewing (Fig. 21), the zigzag antemedian line as well as the notch at dorsal 1/3 of the postmedian line separates this species from other Glaucocharis species found in the Philippines. In male genitalia (Fig. 78), the costal process projecting posterad into a long, narrow spine reaching beyond valval apex separates this species from other Glaucocharis species. In female genitalia (Fig. 137), the elongatetongue-shaped ventral sclerotization of the antrum and the rounded pouch at midlength of ductus bursae separates this species from other Glaucocharis species.

DISTRIBUTION

INDONESIA: Papua. MALAYSIA: Borneo. PAPUA NEW GUINEA: D’Entrecasteaux Island. PHILIPPINES: Leyte, Luzon (Camarines Sur, Zambales), Mindanao, Negros. Collected at altitudes between 500 and 1050 m.

DNA BARCODING

The highest intraspecific divergence observed is of 4.6% between specimens MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-A02 (Luzon) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL10-D11 (Negros). Haplotype from Borneo differ by a p-dist of 1.3% from the specimen MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-A10 from the Bicol peninsula on Luzon.

REMARKS

This is the first record of this species for the Philippines.
