Abstract

Dimorphopterus cornutus novaeguineae subsp.n. is described from Papua New Guinea. Adults and immatures were collected from dying rice and a lawn of carpet grass (Axonopus compressus). Members of the genus Dimorphopterus and allied genera are known as chinch bugs and damage Gramineae in the tropics and subtropics. The differences between this subspecies and D. cornutus cornutus Slater are illustrated and described in detail.
