According to Denis Keith of the Muséum d’Histoire naturelle et de Préhistoire in Chartre, France, this scarab from the subfamily Melolonthinae is a new species of Engertia which is rather common in Bukidnon.
Denis already has three females from Leyte and in order to describe this as a new species, he has to have the male specimens. But I still have to check if I have stock or papered. If not, then I have to send my pinned specimens when I get back home to Cebu.
