Abstract

Leuctrid specimens were examined from a collection expedition conducted over 20 years ago by Dr. Wolfram Mey. Rhopalopsole luzonensis sp. nov., R. absentia sp. nov., and R. rotundus sp. nov. are described based on male specimens. Additionally, a distribution hypothesis, discussion of female specimens, and an updated checklist are briefly provided.
