[Antipolo is a city locating in the Province of Rizal, ca. 25 km east of Manila. At the back side of Antipolo Church is a large mystical cave known as Inday Nelly Mystical Cave. It is likely that the female syntype was collected from this cave.] Other material examined.

Systaria cervina , new material from Luzon. 4–5 Left male palp (4 ventral, 5 retrolateral); 6 Retrolateral tibial apophysis, retrolateral; 7 Epigyne, ventral; 8 Vulva, dorsal. Scale lines = 0.1 mm. Diagnosis. Males of S. cervina can be distinguished from those of S. elberti (Strand, 1913) by the sickleshaped RTA provided with a small dorsal incision in lateral view ( Figs 5–6 ). Females can be distinguished from those of S. elberti by the anterior bursae abruptly narrowing, forming short, posterior stalks ( Fig. 8 ) instead of being elongate-oval, and by the much narrower insemination ducts connected between anterior bursae and posterior spermathecae. The male palpal structure of S. cervina also closely resembles S. insulana (Rainbow, 1902) but can be recognized by the more elongated RTA which is greatly narrower at base, and by the smaller conductor.
