in males (
12 mm
in the
holotype
) and
14 mm
in females.
Barsine visaya
sp. n.
is similar externally to
B. kishidai
sp. n.
, but differs by its smaller size and medial line being more strongly curved at anal wing margin. The male genitalia of
B. visaya
sp. n.
are most similar to those of
B. nemea
sp. n.
, but differ by their valva being more broadened distally, almost straight costa (that is curved in
B. nemea
sp. n.
), narrower medial costal process, shorter distal costal process, distal saccular process being hook-like curved dorsally (that is straight in
B. nemea
sp. n.
), broader subbasal ventral diverticulum, and smaller cornuti in medial diverticulum. The female genitalia of
B. visaya
sp. n.
differ from those of
B. nemea
sp. n.
by the longer and broader appendix bursae.
Distribution
. The
Philippines
(Negros Island).
Etymology.
