            <p>Type series. Holotype: macropterous Ψ (Figs. 1, 2, 7–11), “[INDONESIA] Wolobobo, Ngada, Flores, 8°50’16”S, 120°59’13”E, 1440m, alt., 28.viii.2006, T. Ishikawa et al.” (TUA). Paratypes: 1 macropterous Ψ (Figs. 12–14), 2 brachypterous Ψ (one shown in Figs. 3, 4), same data as holotype (1 brachypterous Ψ in TUA﹐ ΟɭhɵrS in UU).</p>
            <p>Distribution. Indonesia (Flores).</p>
            <p> Etymology. From the Latin,  dimorphopterus , referring to the wing dimorphism, macroptera and brachyptera, which appears in this new species; an adjective. </p>
            <p> Remarks.  Polididus dimorphopterus sp. nov. is the first representative showing wing dimorphism in the genus  Polididus . Wing dimorphism or polymorphism appears to be very rare in the subfamily  Harpactorinae while some congeners of the genus  Coranus Curtis, 1833 , as far as known to us, exceptionally show the dimorphism. The present discovery of the dimorphism in  Polididus is rather remarkable. </p>
            <p> This new species is similar to  Polididus australis Distant, 1903 , described from northwestern Australia and  P. armatissimus Stål, 1859 occurring widely in Southeast Asia, but is separable from the latter two by the pronotum dark brown to blackish with a pair of brownish yellow longitudinal stripes (Fig. 1) (in  P. australis and  P. armatissimus , brown in the anterior lobe and yellowish brown in the posterior lobe without stripes, Fig. 5), setiferous spines on the pronotal humeri, scutellum and laterotergites IV to VII blackish in the basal half and brownish yellow in the apical half (Figs. 1, 3, 8) (vs. yellow to brownish yellow with the brownish or reddish base, Fig. 5), the femur of each leg blackish in the apical fifth (Figs. 1–4, 10, 11) (vs. reddish to blackish in the apical half in the pro- and mesofemora and in the apical third in the metafemur, Figs. 5, 6), and the valvifer I not projected posteriad at the apex (Figs. 12, 13) (vs. roundly projected posteriad at the apex, Figs. 20, 21). </p>
            <p>Habitat. This new species was collected in dry vegetation such as silver and blady grasses in Flores. All the specimens examined were found on the ground covered with vegetation.</p>

            <p>Female: Valvifer I (Figs. 20, 21) roundly projected at apex, covered with dense, short setae and a few long setae in apical part (Fig. 21); valvula I (Figs. 20, 21) weakly narrowed apicad, rounded at apex, densely covered with short setae in apical part (Fig. 21). Styloides (Fig. 22) nearly truncated at apex, sclerotized laterally as in Fig. 14, densely covered with short, stout setae along apical margin, and with a pair of long setae apically.</p>
            <p>Material examined. [Indonesia] Bali: 1 ɗ, Abang, Tabanan, 8°18’32”S, 115°09’40”E, 1,180m, alt., 4.ix.2006, T. Ishikawa et al.

Ishikawa (TUA).</p>
            <p>Distribution. Saudi Arabia, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia (Malaya), Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Bali), Hawaiian Islands, Caroline Islands (Distant 1904; Hsiao &amp; Ren 1981; Putshkov &amp; Putshkov 1996; Stål 1859, 1874; Uhler 1896; Wygodzinsky &amp; Usinger 1960). This species is recorded from Bali for the first time.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The two male specimens from Bali lack setiferous spine on each posterior corner of the abdominal laterotergite V. Comparison of the specimens between  P. armatissimus from Bali and Japan and  P. australis from Queensland resulted in no detection of apparent differences as separate species in morphology including male and female genitalia. This indicates that both of the two species might be in synonymy. However, we postpone the final conclusion about the synonymy between these two species until the type specimens becomes available for examination. </p>
