Varitrella (Cantotrella) fuscoirrorata (Chopard, 1925) comb. nov. (Figs 17–19) Madasumma fuscoirrorata Chopard, 1925: 320 — Chopard, 1968: 372 Specimen examined. Holotype: PHILIPPINES • ♁; Mindanao, Iligan; coll. C.F. Baker; MNHN-EO-ENSIF6695 New specimens examined.

Our male specimens from Mindanao resemble the female holotype by the pronotal dorsal disk with a characteristic hourglass-shaped dark brown pattern and the spotted patterns on the legs. Given that our male specimens were collected from Agusan del Sur and Balingoan, it will not be surprising that this species is more widely distributed across Mindanao. Here, the male is described for the first time, but whether our male specimens are truly Varitrella (Cantotrella) fuscoirrorata can still afford further testing and verification. Diagnosis (new). The male genitalia of Varitrella (Cantotrella) fuscoirrorata is most similar to Varitrella quadrata (Haan, 1842) from Java by the ectophallic fold with its apex somewhat surpassing both the lateral lobes and with the emargination between both lateral lobes truncated; but differs by the pseudepiphallus with the dorso-anterior pseudepiphallic spine strongly sclerotized but small, and with its acute apex (absent in Varitrella quadrata); by the pseudepiphallus in profile view with its latero-apical lobular parts truncated, and with the dorso-posterior angle nearly right-angled and without a dorso-apical process; and by ...
