Notes to this checklist

For practical reasons the list represents all New Guinea species, including those from PNG, because from many species no exact locality data are known.
Endemic species for the island of New Guinea are indicated.

Listed Papua species: 193 [98 species endemic for New Guinea]

Brentidae are represented in New Guinea by the subfamilies Brentinae, Cyphagoginae and Trachelizinae.
