The male is re-described in detail. The species was so far only known from the island of Luzon, but also occurs in suitable habitats on Panay. Although locally relatively abundant, it is confined to primary and old secondary rainforests and threatened by habitat loss. The life history of Panay populations is outlined. The name Euchomenellini Giglio-Tos, 1916 is proposed for the oriental members of Angelinae (Euchomenella, Indomenella and Tagalomantis). The tribus is placed among Deroplatyinae due to morphological and genital characters. Cotigaonopsis Vyjayandi, 2009 is transferred to Rivetinini. A key to the genera of Deroplatyinae is provided.","PeriodicalId":141328,"journal":{"name":"Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132219411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
