Research reports new species and records of Megalopinus in Arunachal Pradesh, highlighting biodiversity.
Five species of the genus Megalopinus Eichelbaum, 1915 are reported from the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. Three species are described as new to science: Megalopinus arunachalensis Mainda spec. nov., Megalopinus mithun Mainda spec. nov., and Megalopinus micros Mainda spec. nov. The new species are illustrated and compared with similar Oriental species. Moreover, new records of two additional species, Megalopinus helferi (Dormitzer, 1851) and Megalopinus nepalensis Puthz, 2012, are published. All known records are presented in a map.
