Abstract

A new species of the genus Metapocyrtus Heller, 1912 named Metapocyrtus poncei sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The new species was collected in the low elevation secondary forest from San Isidro, Davao Oriental. The new species can be differentiated from its congeners by the pronotum being fully covered in scales, the elytra with thick longitudinal scaly stripes from striae I-VI, and the short, acute spine at the apex of each elytron in the female.
