MATERIAL

Specimen examined: 2 ♂ (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh) .

SIMILAR SPECIES

Ancylolomia westwoodi Zeller, 1863 .

DIAGNOSIS

In male genitalia ( Fig. 93 View Figs 88-93 ), the following characters separate this species from the widespread A. westwoodi : the prominent thorn-like projections at midlength of uncus dorsum reach 2/3 of the uncus length and show no dorsal bump, while the projection is slightly less than half the uncus length and shows a marked dorsal bump in the form of A. westwoodi found in the Philippines. Furthermore, the saccus anterior margin is conspicuously incurved, while it is straight or slightly rounded in A. westwoodi specimens from the Philippines. In female genitalia ( Fig. 151 View Figs 148-151 ), A. orchidea lacks the bag-shaped sclerites and the interspersed sclerotization on the antrum ( Bleszynski, 1970b).

DISTRIBUTION

PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Cordillera central), Panay (Iloilo). Collected at altitudes between 400 and 2000 m.

DNA BARCODING

The species delimitation analysis recovered two MOTUs, one for the specimen from North Luzon and one for the specimen from Panay. A p-distance of 6.9% is observed between samples MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-F08 (Panay) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-D12 (Luzon, Ifugao).
