Arulenus miae is a species of pygmy grasshopper which is found on the island Mindanao in the Philippines. It was described in 2016 by Josip Skejo and Joy Honezza S. Caballero. They became aware of the species' existence through a photograph posted to a Facebook group. Specimens were later collected from Bukidnon Province. It is named in honor of a friend of Skejo, named Mia.^[1][2]
