discussion
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).
