Lispe palawanensis Shinonaga & Kano, 1989

( Figs. 1 I, 26)

Lispe palawanensis Shinonaga & Kano, 1989: 818 .

Material examined. Type material. PARATYPE, 1 male, labeled (1) PHILIPPINES:/ Antipolo Beach/ Palawan/ 1.XI.1975 [printed]; (2) Collecter/ H. Kurahashi [printed]; (3) Lispe palawanensis Shinonaga et Kano sp. nov., 1988; (4) Paratype [printed on yellow label]; in MNHN.

Remarks. The species is similar to L. aquamarina but differs in having dark brown palpi and obvious boundary between frontal vitta, frontal triangle and frontal-orbital plate. Also, the swollen tarsi of two species are quite different: much more enlarged entirely in L. aquamarina ( Fig. 1 A) while only with a fringe and in a smaller size in L. palawanensis ( Fig. 1 I). For detailed description of L. palawanensis see Shinonaga & Kano (1989).

Distribution. Philippines.
