Sejanus isarog Schuh, 1984: 174 , figs. 498, 572, 583–585 (diag., descr., disc., n. sp., diag., descr., DV, MG).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by castaneous coloration, two large white spots on anterior margin of cuneus fused along midline and almost forming a white band, yellowish antennal segments 3 and 4, distal portion of profemur, pro- and mesotibiae, and all tarsi, and tubelike endosoma with an almost triangular-shaped secondary gonopore.

DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Philippine Islands.

DISCUSSION: The secondary gonopore in S. isarog is very similar in shape to that of S. neofunereus , but the external morphology, particularly the coloration of the anterior margin of the cuneus, clearly distinguished the two species.
