Abstract
A new genus and species of the subfamily Nothopodinae, Colopodacini from Papua New Guinea are described and illustrated. Solenidiversum falcatariae gen. nov. sp. nov. infests Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby and Grimes (Fabaceae) and causes erineum on both the leaf surfaces. Solenodiversum gen. nov. has the solenidion on the inner side of tarsus I, tibiae of both legs completely fused with tarsus, all leg and ventral opisthosomal setae present, empodium entire and scapular tubercles on rear shield margin. With this new genus and species, the current number of Colopodacini is 16 genera and 41 species. A key to the genera of the Colopodacini tribe is given.
