Abstract
We describe Rhantus elisabethae sp.n. from Papua New Guinea's central highlands. The new species is close to R. bacchusi and R. papuanus, but well characterized by its different male genital structure. Comparative analysis of the cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene suggests recent speciation in this group of Rhantus species.
