Comments: this species is known only from the
type
locality in New
Guinea
(Eubenangee, [
Drake 1960
]). Of the six
Diplocysta
six species, three occur in New
Guinea
and, the other three occur in
Australia
.
Diplocysta rustica
is easily distinguished from the two other species inhabiting New
Guinea
species by the size and number of areolae on the hemelytral areas and the paranota. It differs from the three Australian species by the shape of the pronotal vesicule.
