| Abstract: | Mesopangonius gen. nov. is described from Moun Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. This is the first representative of the Pangoniini known to occur in the Oriental Region. Although possibly derived from unspecialized Laurasian Pangoniini, its long slender proboscis is characteristic of specialized genera of the tribe. Two new species, M. philipi sp. nov. and M. brackleyae sp. nov. are described, and a key is provided. |
