Abstract

The new species from Mindanao (the Philippines) Thopeutica (s.str.) wiesneri sp. nov. is described. The new species is compared with T. (s.str.) angulihumerosa (W. Horn, 1929). The study of type material allowed to establish the new synonymy: T. (s.str.) juergenwiesneri Schüle, 2017 syn. nov. = T. (s.str.) angulihumerosa (W. Horn, 1929). Illustrations of the habitus and diagnostic characters are provided.
