Material examined. BRUNEI: BELAIT DISTRICT: Peat-swampy area draining to Sungai Ingei, 6.vi.2010, leg. D. J. W. Lane (15), 1 J ( UBDB). PHILIPPINES: LEYTE: Leyte Province, Mahaplag, Hilusig River, 6.iii.2001, leg. F. E. Bendanillo, 1 J ( USCP).

Distribution. Anisops rhomboides is a West Malesian species so far recorded from Borneo, Sulawesi, and the Philippines ( NIESER & CHEN 1999, CHEN et al. 2005). This species is the only notonectid species previously recorded from Brunei (from km 29.5 on Labi road [in Belait District], NIESER & CHEN 1999). Philippine records are only from the south: Mindanao (South Cotabato) ( NIESER & CHEN 1999), Tawi Tawi ( LANSBURY 1967, as A. tahitiensis ), and Palawan (ZETTEL 2003). This first record from Leyte (Leyte Province) represents the species’ northernmost occurrence.
