Abstract:
Three new species and one new subspecies are described: Scamandra lumawigi sp. n. (Luzon, Philippines), S. huangi sp. n. (Taliabu Island off Sulawesi), S. vanvyvei sp. n. (Sulawesi) and S. vanvyvei pelengana ssp. n. (Peleng Island off Sulawesi). The status of Scamandra mucorea Gerstaecker, 1895 is revised and the species is no more considered a subspecies of S. hermione Stål, 1864. The new name Scamandra stanjakli Constant, 2013 is proposed to replace S. jakli Chew Kea Foo et al., 2010 which is ajunior homonym of S. jakli Rolcík, 2008. Male genitalia are illustrated for S. huangi, S. hermione, S. lumawigi, S. mucorea and S. jakli. Habitus illustrations are provided for all species except S. stanjakli. New distribution records are given for S. mucorea and S. stanjakli.
