Sejanus ecnomioides Schuh View in CoL Figure 35 View Figure 35
Sejanus ecnomioides Schuh, 1984: 162 View in CoL , figs. 498, 534, 549 (diag., descr., disc., DV, MG).
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by the castaneous coloration, the two white spots on the anterior margin of the cuneus, the pale antennal segment 1, golden colored trochanters and extreme distal portion of all femora, the dorsally expanded medial portion of the left paramere forming a scoop shape, the apical spine on the endosoma nearly perpendicular to the main body, and the lack of a visible secondary gonopore.
DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).
HOSTS: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION: Malaysia.
DISCUSSION: Schuh (1984) noted that this species is very similar in appearance, overall morphology, and structure of the male genitalia to S. ecnomiscos and S. ecnomios , but indicated that S. ecnomioides is smaller in size than S. ecnomios , and the white spots on the cuneus in S. ecnomioides are more intense than in the other taxa.

Sejanus ecnomios Schuh, 1984: 162 View in CoL , figs. 499, 535, 537–540, 541–545 (diag., descr., disc., n. sp., diag., descr., DV, MG, figs. head-pronotum).
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by relatively large size, nearly completely dark coloration, two separate white spots on anterior margin of cuneus, dorsal-medial margin of left paramere expanded and with anterior process directed in an alternate direction from posterior process, nearly U-shaped endosoma with secondary gonopore appearing as a twisted circle, and endosoma with an apical spine.
DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).
HOSTS: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION: Papua New Guinea.
DISCUSSION: Schuh (1984) hypothesized that this species is closely related to S. ecnomioides and S. ecnomiscos based on the expanded dorsomedial margin of the left paramere, a feature that otherwise is not found in Leucophoropterini .

536, 546–548 (diag., descr., disc., n. sp., diag.,
descr., DV, MG).
DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by almost completely castaneous coloration, presence of two white spots on anterior margin of cuneus, expanded dorsomedial area of left paramere, horse-collar–shaped secondary gonopore, and apex of endosoma terminating in a long, sinuous spine.
DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).
HOSTS: Unknown.
DISTRIBUTION: Philippine Islands.
DISCUSSION: Schuh (1984) hypothesized that this species is closely related to S. ecnomioides and S. ecnomios based on the expanded dorsal-medial margin of the left paramere. However, S. ecnomiscos is unique by having a subapical horse-collar–shaped secondary and a long tapering spine at the apex of the endosoma parallel to the main body, attributes that are absent in the other two taxa.
