Poecilosomella albipes ( DUDA, 1925) View in CoL

Material studied: 1 female ( ROM): PHILIPPINES, Negros , Oriental: Cuernos de Negros, 7 km W. Valencia, 29 JUN – 8 JUL 1987. DC Darling, E. Mayordo. ROM 873061 – 1 About ROM ° rainforest edge, 700 m, Malaise w/pans .

I described a specimen from Sri Lanka ( PAPP 1991 a: 103), which may indeed belong to this species, but I cannot re-check its identity during the present study. It is, however, even more likely, that the above specimen is conspecific with the type specimen from Mt Banahao ( Luzon, Philippines). In the key below it is far from P. nigrotibiata ( DUDA), but I think they are in a closer relationship .
