The Status

Abstract This chapter discusses the status of the name Bactrocera papayae. It considers the synonymy proposed by Schutze et al. (2015a) to be incorrect and unjustified, and continue to regard B. papayae as the valid name for populations occurring from southern Thailand to Papua New Guinea.

New species of Ericaceae recently collected in Papua New Guinea necessitate a re-evaluation of the status of Agapetes subgenus Paphia section Paphia. The combination of molecular and morphological data confirms that Agapetes, currently a genus of about 100 species from Fiji, New Caledonia and Queensland to mainland SE Asia, and most diverse in the latter area, cannot be maintained in its current circumscription. Various taxonomic solutions that do justice to our current knowledge of the morphology and relationships of the two main parts of the genus are discussed. The reinstatement of Paphia does least violence nomenclaturally. All 23 taxa recognized in Paphia are listed, 14 new combinations of Agapetes from the New Guinea–SW Pacific area are made in Paphia, three new species are described (P. megaphylla, P. vulcanicola and P. woodsii), and an incompletely known taxon is characterized. A key to all taxa is presented. In Dimorphanthera, five new species are described (D. angiliensis, D. anomala, D. antennifera, D. cratericola and D. inopinata), three reduced to synonymy, one reduced to a variety and one variety recognized as a species (D. continua). A key to the 87 taxa currently recognized in the genus is presented.

A New Species

The status of the genus Neorthostigma Belokobylskij, 1998 is re-established as a result of additional morphological studies. A new species, N. braetisp. nov., from Papua New Guinea is described and illustrated. Aspilota brachyclypeataFischer 1978 is transferred to Neorthostigma, hence N. brachyclypeata (Fischer, 1978), comb. nov. A new synonym is suggested, Aspilota macrops Stelfox & Graham, 1951 = Neorthostigma eoum Belokobylskij, 1998, syn. nov.; A. macrops is transferred to Neorthostigma. This genus is additionally recorded in the Western Palaearctic (Norway) and Australasian (Papua New Guinea) regions for the first time. A key for the determination of the three known species of Neorthostigma is provided.

The agamid genus Bronchocela Kaup, 1827 comprises 13 species of diurnal, arboreal lizards distributed from India east through Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, to Papua New Guinea (Diong & Lim 1998; Hallermann 2005; Grismer et al. 2015). Once occupying this entire range, B. cristatella’s distribution has now been restricted to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, southern Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea (Hallermann 2005). My intention here is to: 1) clarify the type species of the genus-group name Bronchocela; 2) resolve the valid name for the taxon under consideration; 3) designate lectotypes for Agama cristatella Kuhl, 1820 and Agama gutturosa Merrem, 1820, and; 4) discuss the type locality for the taxon under consideration.

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the floristic changes that occur following human disturbance in mid-montane forest in the Wau area in Papua New Guinea. The study was restricted to a 1600–2400 m altitudinal range on Mt Kaindi, with disturbed forest, and Mt Missim, with undisturbed forest. Special attention was given to the status of Nothofagus pullei which is locally dominant on Mt Kaindi.A major change in floristic composition was observed between 1800 and 2000 m. The abundance and species composition of ferns and mosses above 2000 m characterizes the floristic differences. Nothofagus pullei was found to be a pioneer species with a long life-span, one which does not regenerate under its own cover. There were no other important floristic differences between Notho-fagus-dominated forest and mixed mid-montane forest. Nothofagus pullei locally dominates the canopy and thereby suppresses the growth of other trees.

AbstractThis article describes how the Nek language of Papua New Guinea expresses non-spatial setting and mood in its verb system. Nek has verbal suffixes for the five tenses; five aspects are formed by auxiliary verbs and three by suffixes. Indicative and imperative/hortatory are the only moods; modality is mainly expressed by modal adverbs. Verbal subclasses are discussed briefly, and so is the status distinction between realis and irrealis, in order to facilitate understanding of the entire Nek verbal system.
