Abstract

The new isometopine Gigantometopus coronobtectus sp. nov. from Vietnam is described and illustrated. A revised diagnosis of Gigantometopus and detailed information on nymphal morphology based on the last-instar nymph and description of the female genitalia are presented. A key to the species of the genus is provided and the position of G. schuhi is discussed based on the morphology of pronotum and scutellum.
