Abstract

A new species of Paruzelia Melichar, 1903, P. rawette n. sp., is described from Borneo, Sabah (Malaysia). The species is compared with P. psyllomorpha Melichar, 1903 and P. salome Fennah, 1984, both described from Sri Lanka. Male genitalia and habitus are illustrated. An identification key and a distribution map is provided for all three species of the genus. The biogeography of the genus is discussed.
