03C15030FFFBFFCC43C6FF67FE0224FD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species is characterised by the combination of genitalic characters: its pseudepiphallus [= epiphallus] fairly stout, in dorsal view having the upper proximal edge truncated at the middle, at its apex with a small, acute triangular process pointing dorsad, and its ventro-lateral margins serrated with the serration of relatively small and of subequal size and reaching the apical end; and its pseudepiphallic parameres [= ectoparameres] large and stout (only surpassing slightly the apex of pseudepiphallus) and forming a hull-like structure, and at the apices being strongly narrowed, pointing dorso-posteriorly and in lateral view, slightly sinuous. The new species mostly resembles Itara (Phormincter) similis Gorochov, 1988 from Sumatra and Malay Peninsula by the shape of the genitalia having its pseudepiphallus stout with its ventro-lateral margins finely serrated and the pseudepiphallic parameres stout and deep hull-like; but differs by the pseudepiphallus having the upper proximal edge, in dorsal view, truncated at the middle (instead of obtusely rounded), and at its apex with a distinctly smaller dorsal process (which is pointing dorsad and not curving anteriorly) and its ventro-lateral margins serration extending to the apical end (instead of limited to only the ventral part). The FW of the new species also resembles that of Itara (Phormincter) melanocephala Gorochov, 1988 from Java and Sumatra by the posterior most harp vein at the middle forked but differs by the genitalia with the ventro-lateral margins of the pseudepiphallus having a row of serration (instead of only a few teeth near the apex) and the shape of the pseudepiphallic parameres stouter in lateral view. The new species somewhat resembles Itara (Itara) vietnamensis Gorochov, 1985 from Indochina in its genitalia having strongly dilated pseudepiphallic parameres and narrow at the apex; but it differs by the shape of the pseudepiphallus not having medium-sized lateral distal processes and upper proximal edge of pseudepiphallus truncated (instead of having two median lobes), and by the pseudepiphallic parameres at the apical end stout and S-shaped curved (instead of long, slender and C-shaped curved). From Itara (Itara) palawanensis Gorochov, 2004, the other species known from the Philippines, the new species differs by the shape of the pseudepiphallus being triangular with a narrow apex (instead of a broadly truncated apex) and the shape of the pseudepiphallic parameres being more truncated apically and S-shaped curved (instead of long, slender and C-shaped curved),	en	Tan, Ming Kai, Grumo, Kim C., Gono, Alfredo Iii A., Bahoy, Daphne Cayle M., Rivera, Rodrin R., Nuñeza, Olga Macas, Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

03C15030FFFBFFCC43C6FF67FE0224FD.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named after the Mindanao Island where it was discovered.	en	Tan, Ming Kai, Grumo, Kim C., Gono, Alfredo Iii A., Bahoy, Daphne Cayle M., Rivera, Rodrin R., Nuñeza, Olga Macas, Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

03C15030FFFBFFCC43C6FF67FE0224FD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species belongs to the subgenus Itara (Phormincter) Saussure, 1878 based on the following characters: the pseudepiphallus without medium-sized lateral distal processes, but with a pair of sloping lower lobes at the middle part; the pseudepiphallic parameres usually curved S-shaped at the apical part and surpassing the apex of the pseudepiphallus (Gorochov, 1997). This represents a new locality record outside the known distribution of this subgenus (i. e., Borneo, Java, Malay Peninsula and Sumatra). This new species also represents only the second species of Itara described and known from the Philippines, after Itara (Itara) palawanensis Gorochov, 2004 from the Palawan Island (Gorochov, 2004). Furthermore, this also signifies the first species of Itara known from Mindanao Island.	en	Tan, Ming Kai, Grumo, Kim C., Gono, Alfredo Iii A., Bahoy, Daphne Cayle M., Rivera, Rodrin R., Nuñeza, Olga Macas, Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

This new species is most similar to Itara (Bornitara) borneoensis Gorochov, 1997 from Kalimantan and Itara (Bornitara) copiosa Gorochov, 2007 from Mount Trus Madi (Sabah) in the male genitalia; but differs by the pseudepiphallus having its apex narrower in dorsal view and not as strongly curved in lateral view, and by the pseudepiphallic parameres in ventral view having the distal part distinctly longer than the proximal part (instead of the proximal part longer) and a distinctly longer concavity along the inner margin (Figs 13 A, 13 B). The new species also differs from Itara (Bornitara) copiosa by the pseudepiphallus longer and at apical half narrower; from Itara (Bornitara) borneoensis by the posterior-most harp vein forming a zig-zag line. From the syntopic species Itara (Maxitara) kinabalu Gorochov, 2013, this new species differs by the male genitalia (Figs 13 C – E) and by a smaller and slenderer habitus.	en	Tan, Ming Kai, Grumo, Kim C., Gono, Alfredo Iii A., Bahoy, Daphne Cayle M., Rivera, Rodrin R., Nuñeza, Olga Macas, Japir, Razy, Chung, Arthur Y.

TIII with 4 inner and 4 outer subapical spurs, 3 inner and 3 outer apical spurs; with 4 inner and 5 outer small spines before most proximal subapical spurs; without small spine between spurs. FIs and FIIs brown, with basal half paler. TIs generally brown. FIIIs pale brown; apical part including knee dark brown with tint of red brown. TIIIs generally yellow brown; spurs generally yellow brown with apices dark brown. Tergites and sternites yellow brown. Male. FW 2.3 times longer than wide, surpassing abdominal apex, mostly yellow brown and hyalinous (Fig. 11 F). FW venation (Fig. 11 F): dorsal field in harp (ha) with four increasingly longer veins; posterior-most harp vein at base curved, at distal half forming zig-zag line. Mirror (mi) very large and transverse, 1.7 times as wide as long, very large and separated by one dividing vein; dividing vein broadly curved. Apical field relatively short, 1.2 times longer than length of mirror (Fig. 11 F). Lateral field with R and M generally parallel, with numerous very faint transverse veins; M and Sc mostly parallel and more closely spaced apart; Sc with numerous inter-laced projections, with ca. 10 tranverse projecting veins (Fig. 11 G). Hind wings only slightly surpassing apex of FW. Male genitalia (Fig. 12). Pseudepiphallus [epiphallus] typical of subgenus; in dorsal view triangular with apex acute; in lateral view flattened and at apex hooked. Pseudepiphallus in dorsal view: after middle strongly tapering, with lateral margin slightly concave. Pseudepiphallus in lateral view: with upper proximal edge slightly raised; dorsal margin at proximal half gently sloping, distal half slightly curved; at apex with a small tooth pointing dorsad; ventral margin lacking denticles on ventral surface, basally with tongue-shaped lobe pointing posteriorly, at middle slightly concave, distal half mostly straight. Pseudepiphallic parameres [ectoparameres] not surpassing apex of pseudepiphallus, sinuous. Pseudepiphallic parameres with proximal part reaching basal third with basal margin oblique and lateral margins straight and parallel; just before middle with inner margin forming 90 ° bent and outer margin broadly convex; thereafter with distal part having inner margin with deep and elongated concavity extending to near apex, outer margin broadly curved; at apex somewhat triangular and subobtuse. Ectophallic apodeme [endoparameral apodeme] in ventral view, straight to faintly curved. Ectophallic fold [rachis] needle-like, long and slender with posterior apex acute, tubular and strongly curved anteriorly into endophallic sclerite [formula]. Endophallic sclerite small, slender and Y-shaped, ventrad of ectophallic fold. Rami slightly curved, longer than pseudepiphallus length, at anterior ends not connected. Female. Unknown.
