Abstract: Rhyparus guadalcanalensis Minkina, Skelley, Jákl, Král, & Li, 2025 Rhyparus guadalcanalensis Minkina Skelley, Jákl, Král, & Li, 2025: 564–567. Type locality. Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal Island, Karukiki. Material examined. Type materials as cited and illustrated in the description of Minkina et al. (2025) from the Solomon Islands. Comments. While similar to R. helophoroides in many ways, R. guadalcanalensis are easily distinguished by pronotal characters and male sexual dimorphisms. Additionally, it belongs to group of small species similar to R. helophoroides where each island region in Indonesia may have a different localized species in the complex. They are endemics sympatric with the widespread R. helophoroides.
