Abstract

Pararhabdepyris is recorded from Australian and Oriental regions for the first time. Two new species are described and illustrated. Pararhabdepyris balios sp. nov. from Australia is characterized by having scutellar groove wide and trabeculate and tergite II with a pair of half-moon shaped spot at anterior sublateral region. Pararhabdepyris lophos sp. nov. from Thailand is characterized by having clypeus with a wide median lobe and frons with frontal carina. Pararhabdepyris is now known from three species.
