Taxon discussion
This genus is in need of revision (
Zettel 2014
). The specimens (Fig.
9
C) probably belong to a new species related to
Tenagogonus bergrothi
Hungerford & Matsuda, 1958 (see
Hungerford and Matsuda 1958
), from Luzon. The genus is widespread throughout the Afrotropical, Oriental and Australian Regions, extending eastwards up to Fiji (
Damgaard et al. 2014
). Fifteen species are known in the Malesian Region, including the Philippines (
Chen et al. 2005
).
Habitat
The collected specimens were found in small forest streams, a common habitat of representatives of the genus.
