Mohagan sp. nov., Platypleura minima Lee and Marshall sp. nov., Chremistica flavialata Lee and Marshall sp. nov., Oncotympana obesa Lee and Marshall sp. nov., Neopurana bouptera Lee and Marshall sp. nov., Purana mindanaoensis Lee and Marshall sp. nov., Mogannia tenebrosa Lee and Marshall sp. nov., Philipsalta exilis Lee and Marshall sp. nov. and Philipsalta lata Lee and Marshall sp. nov., are described.

The Purana abdominalis species group is proposed within the genus Purana Distant, which includes two new species, Purana abdominalis Lee, sp. nov. and Purana nana Lee, sp. nov., from the Philippines. Classification of species groups of the genus Purana is discussed. The genus Formosemia Matsumura, 1917 is resurrected from the junior synonymy with Purana Distant, 1905. Purana apicalis (Matsumura) is transferred to Formosemia stat. rev. to become Formosemia apicalis (Matsumura) comb. nov. A key to the species groups of Purana is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
