Description
The species Dismegistus madagascariensis sp. nov. is described from Andohahela National Park, southeastern Madagascar. It represents the first record of the genus Dismegistus Amyot & Serville, 1843, and the family Parastrachiidae (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Pentatomomorpha, Pentatomoidea) from the island. The new species is compared with the six previously described congeners, and a checklist with their distributions is provided.
