Mistshenkoana higaonon Tan & Salvador, sp. nov. (Figs 26, 27) Specimens examined. Holotype: PHILIPPINES • ♁; Mindanao, Misamis Oriental, Gingoog City, Barangay Lunotan, near Mt Sumagaya; N8.70115, E125.01004, 1206.0±7.0 m.a.s.l.; 16 February 2023, 20h09; coll. J.A.G. Salvador; MIN.23.67 (PNM) Diagnosis. The new species differs from the aforementioned species and Philippines congeners by similar characters mentioned in Mistshenkoana lunotan sp. nov., but it also differs by the head and pronotum having more dark-brown spots; the FW dorsal field with three large distinct white oblique and elongated spots and the FIIIs with mottled dark patterns. From Mistshenkoana lunotan sp. nov., the male genitalia of this new species also differ by the pseudepiphallic lophi, in profile view, having dorsal margin somewhat straight throughout but ventral margin at middle bent, and basal half tapering more than apical half (instead of simply triangular); and by the pseudepiphallic parameres, in ventral view, with posterior half having a small spine-like process and in profile view, ventral lobe broader than dorsal lobe (instead of about as broad as each other). Etymology. The species is named after the Higaonon tribe of Iligan which the species coexists with; noun in apposition. Higaonon is also derived from the native words higa (living), goan (mountains). Description. Habitus typical of the genus, medium sized, cream-coloured to yellow brown with dark-brown mottled patterns (Figs 26A, 26B). Head with dorsum dark brown mottled, pubescent. Rostrum finely pubescent, dark coloured, about 0.9 times as wide as scapes (Fig. 26A). Scapes yellow brown with brown patterns. Eyes view distinctly taller than long (Fig. 26C). Median ocellus oval; lateral ocelli located near eyes. Maxillary palpi cream-coloured; with apical segment longest, dorso-posteriorly dark-coloured, flattened and somewhat rectangular, with obliquely-truncated apex; with subapical segment shorter and faintly expanding apically; third segment longer than subapical ...
