A possible new species of Epipedocera

Epipedocera sp. From an email that I received from Eduard Vives about a year ago, he mentioned that this might be possibly a new species of Epipedocera. If that’s the case, then this will be the third species of the genus to be found in the country.

Collected in Pasil, Ifugao during a trip with Paul Siraudeau, its a bit bigger than the two previous Epipedocera species and darker with no reddish tinge.
