Mistshenkoana lunotan Tan & Salvador, sp. nov. (Figs 24, 25) Specimens examined. Holotype: PHILIPPINES • ♁; Mindanao, Misamis Oriental, Gingoog City, Barangay Lunotan, near Mt Sumagaya; N8.70109, E125.01304, 1258.0±5.0 m.a.s.l.; 13 February 2023; mossy forest, on a foliage; coll. M.K. Tan, J.A.G. Salvador, A.M. Sabang, A. Gono, D.C.M. Bahoy & K. Grumo; MIN.23.13 (ZRC) Diagnosis. The new species has male genitalia most similar to that of Mistshenkoana?yaeyamensis (Oshiro, 1998) sensu Gorochov (2007 [2006]) from Ryukyu (Okinawa) [this species was described from Yonaguni Island near Taiwan]; but differs by the pseudepiphallic paramere being slenderer (particularly the ventral lobe) and more elongated; and by the pseudepiphallic lophi, in profile view, triangular (instead of slightly bent). It also differs by the TIIIs without distinct dark brown spots on dorsal surface. From the congeners found in the Philippines, the new species differs from the male holotype of M. gracilis (MNHN-EO-ENSIF6738) from Butuan in Agusan Del Norte (Mindanao) by the differently shaped pseudepiphallic lophi and pseudepiphallic paramere. It also differs by the maxillary palpi with the apical segments somewhat rectangular and tapering into subacute apex (instead of more oval). The new species also differs from the female allotype of M. gracilis (MNHN-EO-ENSIF6739) from northwest Panay (likely a different species from the holotype [see Tan et al., 2020b]) by the head and the pronotum without distinct dark mottled spotted patterns and in general with fewer dark spots; and by the maxillary palps with apical segments somewhat rectangular (instead of pyriform). The new species also differs from Mistshenkoana? gracilis sensu Gorochov (2007 [2006]) and sensu Tan et al. (2020b) from Mount Makiling and Paete (Laguna in Luzon Island) by the colouration and patterns (unicolourous cream-coloured to yellow brown, instead of pale-green with FW dorsal field brown); and by the pseudepiphallus being less slender and less elongated and with its ...
