Rhyzobius bielawskii Tomaszewska, 2010: 71 .
Close morphologically to R. nigripennis Fauvel , it is easily distinguished by its smaller size and lack of spurs on the tibiae ( Tomaszewska 2010). This endemic species has been recorded from various localities in New Caledonia along the Central Range from north to south of Grande Terre ( Tomaszewska 2010), especially at high altitude (Mont Mou, Mont Do, Plateau de Dogny, Mont Panié). It has been recorded from both ultramafic and nonultramafic soils. Its biology is unknown, but it may be predaceous against coccids according to diet preference recorded for other Rhyzobius ( Tomaszewska 2010) View in CoL .
