Abstract

Pseudodindymus subgen. nov., a new subgenus of Dindymus Stål, 1861, currently including nine species, is described and compared with the four extant subgenera of the genus. Dindymus (Pseudodindymus) sandakan sp. nov. from Malaysia: Sabah is described, and D. (P.) pulcher Stål, 1863 from Philippines, previously synonymized with D. (P.) albicornis (Fabricius, 1803), is resurrected as valid species. A review of the Pseudodindymus species and their distribution is given.
