Remarks.
This species was previously known only on the
holotype
, a male collected in
Leyte
. The distribution of this species is here extended to Mindanao, but it is very likely that this species will reveal to be more widespread in the
Philippine Islands
, like the other Philippine species of this genus,
Epsilon dyscherum
(de
Saussure, 1852
)
.
