Abstract
A new subgenus Insulorchestes subgen. n. (type species: Megorchestes luzonensis sp. n.) of the genus Megorchestes Kojima, 2011 is described from Luzon Island, the Philippines. The new subgenus differs from Megorchestes s. str. in tarsal claws with a broad flat inner tooth, armed femora, narrowly separated procoxal cavities and weakly convex elytra. This is the first record of the genus Megorchestes for the Philippines.
