2. Homaloxestis alopecopa Meyrick, 1929

Homaloxestis alopecopa Meyrick, 1929: 518 . TL: Mindanao, Philippines. Type in BMNH.

Remarks. This species was described from Mindanao, Philippines, based on a single female ( 1?, Mt. Apo, 6500 ft, May); no additional specimens have been recorded. Moreover, the abdomen of the holotype is missing, so the female genitalia are known. Consequently, it is nearly impossible to diagnose this species because it is superficially similar to other congeners.
