Sparbambus was erected by Zhang, Woon & Li in 2006, and its generic name ‘Sparbambus’ reflects that it belongs to the subfamily Spartaeinae and the specimens were collected from a bamboo habitat. The monotypic genus originally reported from Malaysia was recently described from China (Wang et al. 2022). In this paper, we record Sparbambus for the first time and describe a new species from India.
