Abuyogocoris tawitawi Schuh, 1984: 197 View in CoL , figs. 648, 656, 662–664 (n. sp., diag., descr., DV, figs. head-pronotum, MG).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by relatively large and bulging eyes; broad yellow-white transverse fascia, yellow-brown head, castaneous coloration of hemelytron and thorax; broad posterior process of left paramere directed perpendicular to base of paramere, and anterior process of left paramere blunt and small, directed perpendicular to posterior process of left paramere.

DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Philippine Islands.

DISCUSSION: Abuyogocoris tawitawi is most similar in external dimensions and appearance to A. abuyog , but the coloration of the head and the pronotum differentiate the two. We could not compare the male genitalia of A. tawitawi with those of A. abuyog because the latter species is known only from the holotype, so was therefore not dissected.
