Dismegistus madagascariensis sp. nov., the first representative of the family Parastrachiidae (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) in Madagascar
The species Dismegistus madagascariensis sp. nov. is described from Andohahela National Park, southeastern Madagascar. It represents the first record of the genus Dismegistus Amyot & Serville, 1843, and the family Parastrachiidae (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Pentatomomorpha, Pentatomoidea) from the island.
