Philmontis profusu s Ingrisch, 2022

Specimens studied. Holotype male: Papua New Guinea, Wau, Morobe Province, Mt. Kaindi , elev. 1230 m, 7°21’S 146° 41’E, 30. viii. 1981, leg. G.K. Morris, Depository Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden ( NBC).

Comments. The monotypic genus Philmontis C. Willemse, 1966 (type genus Philmontis nigrofasciatus ) was expanded ( Ingrisch 2022) to include 13 species. The holotype chosen for one of these species, Philmontis profusus Ingrisch , is an adult male specimen collected by GKM & DEK on Mt. Kaindi in 1981. Its specific name acknowledges the “rich modification” ( Ingrisch 2022) of the male cerci. The recordists waited in vain for this insect to sing so there is sadly no information on its song structure.
