Abstract

Two new species of Cacia Newman, 1842, Cacia (Ipocregyes) katrinae sp. nov. and Cacia (Cacia) aeschyae sp. nov., are described and illustrated from Mindoro Island. Prior to this, only one species was described from Mindoro, C. estrellae Hüdepohl, 1989. With the addition of these new species, Mindoro Island now has three species, and the Philippines with 51 species and 2 subspecies of Cacia.
