Abstract

A synopsis of the tribe Dorcaschematini in the Philippines consists of sixteen species of Cylindrepomus Blanchard, 1853, and five species and five subspecies of Olenecamptus Chevrolat, 1835. Cylindrepomus peregrinus samarensis Dillon & Dillon, 1948 is placed back as a synonym of C. peregrinus Pascoe, 1858. Distribution data of C. peregrinus is now extended in the Davao Region of Mindanao Island Philippines.  A comparison of the number of species and endemism between several countries in Asia is also provided. A description of Olenecamptus cabrasae sp. nov. from Mindanao Island is presented.
