MATERIAL Holotype: ♂ (specimen identifier coll.mfn-berlin.de_u_1cbd79). PHILIPPINES: Mindanao, Mt Agtuuganon, 1050 m, 28.v-7.vi.1996, (W. Mey). Paratypes: 7 ♂ (specimen identifiers coll.mfn-berlin.de_u_3b82f9, 93e28f, 3e27b1, 3c37a7, 65f297, 8160cf), 6 ♀ (specimen identifiers coll.mfn-berlin.de_u_41c7ec, 52c1ca, 854cb9, ed1647, 983640, e3a965), 1 unsexed (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh) Other specimens examined: 7 ♂, 3 ♀, 4 unsexed (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/ dryad.b8gtht7mh) DIAGNOSIS This species (Fig. 03) is best separated by examination of the genitalia. In male genitalia (Fig. 59), the single, large, straight cornutus on the vesica separates this species from other Scoparia of the Philippines. In female genitalia (Fig. 121), the colliculum lacks a sclerotized tube-like ring, the ductus bursae is very long, and the corpus bursae bears a narrow elongate signum. DISTRIBUTION CHINA: Jiangxi (W. Li & Liu, 2013); INDONESIA: Sumatra; PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Laguna, Mountain Province), Leyte, Mindanao (Davao oriental), Mindoro. Collected at altitudes between 650 and 1650 m. DNA BARCODING Specimens from Luzon differ from those of Mindanao by a p-distance of 1.6-2.4%. Within Luzon, a p-distance of 1.5% is observed between specimens from Mount Makiling and the specimen from the Cordillera mountain range. A maximum intraspecific p-distance of 3.6% is found between samples MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL09-G02 from Mindoro Oriental and PYRG590-11 from Sumatra. REMARKS The species is recorded here for the first time from the islands of Luzon, Leyte, and Mindoro.
