Rhyparus malaitaensis Minkina, Skelley, Jákl, Král, & Li, 2025 View in CoL

Rhyparus malaitaensis Minkina, Skelley, Jákl, Král, & Li, 2025: 568–571 View in CoL . Type locality: Solomon Islands, Malaita Island, south coast Hahorarumu Uru, Tribal Area .

Material examined. Type materials as cited and illustrated in the description of Minkina et al. (2025) from the Solomon Islands.

Comments. This species also belongs to the complex of species where the females have a modified apical abdominal ventrite and pygidium (see comments under R. vanuatuensis ). It appears that each island region in Indonesia may have a different localized species in this complex.
