Abstract

The genus Pedionis with its species Pedionis (Pedionis) rufoscutellata Huang & Viraktamath, 1993 is recorded for the first time from Malaysia. A new species Pedionis (Pedionis) spiculata sp. nov. is described and illustrated. An updated species checklist with distribution of the genus Pedionis is also provided.
