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.
