Comments
The holotype specimen of Habroteleia ruficoxa is in reasonably good condition in that the characters used for diagnosis at the species level are readily accessible. The challenge is that the species was described from a single male and in the course of this revision we did not encounter any additional specimens of H. ruficoxa. The absence of a spine on T8 in the male, the largely smooth surface of the mesoscutum and mesoscutellum, and the notauli weakly indicated by punctures place the holotype specimen well outside of our concept of H. flavipes, the only other species of Habroteleia known from the Philippines.
