Dimifaia secunda, a New Species of Mezirinae from Papua New Guinea (Hemiptera: Aradidae)

Key Points

New species, Dimifaia secunda, enriches the biodiversity of Aradidae in Papua New Guinea.
Only 26 genera from the Aradidae family are known from New Guinea, revealing exploration gaps.
The macropterous species described belongs to the genus Dimifaia Kormilev, increasing the genus's diversity.
This research underlines the need for further studies on the flat bugs in New Guinea's ecosystem.

Abstract

The fauna of Aradidae or flat bugs of New Guinea Island is still insufficiently explored and studied. Of the largest subfamily of tropical Aradidae, 26 genera are recorded to date from New Guinea Island. Recent examination of macropterous Mezirinae from Papua proved that there is another species belonging to the monotypic genus Dimifaia Kormilev, 1971. This species is described and figured herein as Dimifaia secunda new species.
