Abstract - The genus Rhabidius Basilewsky, 1948, with description of a new species (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Harpalinae) - A new species of Rhabidius Basilewsky, 1948 is here described. Rhabidius rotundangulus n. sp. from Ethiopia is the third species of this genus known so far.

The habitus and male genitalia of the new taxon are illustrated and a map with the distributions of the known species is provided. Some further taxonomic notes on the species of this genus are provided, in particular about some discrepancies between the descriptions of some characters in the original article, the drawings of the aedeagi included, and the characters observed on the typical material.
