Two New Species

Two new species of the genus Cherax are described and illustrated. Cheraxmosessalossa sp. n., endemic to the Klademak Creek drainage in Sorong, in the western part of the Kepala Burung (Vogelkop) peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia, is described, figured and compared with its closest relatives, Cheraxmisolicus Holthuis, 1949 and Cheraxwarsamsonicus. The new species may be easily distinguished from both by the shape of the rostrum, the shape of the chelae, the presence of five cervical spines, the shape of the scaphocerite, and short scattered hairs on the carapace. Cheraxalyciae sp. n., endemic to creeks in the Digul River drainage in the eastern part of the Boven Digoel Regency, Papua, Indonesia, is described, figured, and compared with its closest relative, Cheraxpeknyi Lukhaup & Herbert, 2008. The new species may be easily distinguished from Cheraxpeknyi by the shape of the chelae, presence of a soft patch on the chelae of the males, and colouration. A molecular phylogeny based on two mitochondrial gene fragments, 16S and COI, supports the morphology-based description of the two new species, which can also be clearly distinguished by sequence differences.

Two new species of Tanycricini are described from mountain streams of Indonesian New Guinea. Both species were collected at 1,348 m elevation from Ingging River in West Papua. Nesocricos ingging Sites n.sp. was represented by macropterous and submacropterous forms. Tanycricos inequalis Sites n.sp. was represented by macropterous and brachypterous forms. Nesocricos evops La Rivers is reported from the Baliem Valley of Indonesian New Guinea.

Two New Species

Two new species of Bent-toed Geckos of the Cyrtodactylus peguensis group are described from foothill areas occurring on opposite sides of the Ayeyarwady Basin. Cyrtodactylus nyinyikyawi sp. nov. from the Shwe Settaw Wildlife Sanctuary, Magway Region in the east and C. pyadalinensis sp. nov. from the Panluang-Pyadalin Wildlife Sanctuary, Shan State in the west bear unique suits of morphological and color pattern character states separating them from all species in the peguensis group. Additionally, a molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial gene ND2 indicates that neither species is nested within, nor sister to any known species in the group. This study augments recent and ongoing studies showing that the Ayeyarwady Basin is herpetologically more diverse than previously considered and should be incorporated into ongoing discussions concerning conservation efforts in Myanmar.

Two New Species

The gekkonid genus Goggia includes eight described species of mostly small-bodied rock dwelling gecko endemic to the southwestern portion of southern Africa, in South Africa and extreme southern Namibia. Previous studies focused on Goggia have employed external morphology and allozyme electrophoresis, but no sequence-based molecular phylogeny of the group has been produced. We have generated a molecular phylogeny of Goggia including all named species and multiple individuals within each species, using sequences of the mitochondrial gene ND2 and nuclear genes RAG1 and PDC. The phylogeny depicts a basal divergence between eastern and western species of small-bodied Goggia, with additional divergences also showing structure strongly correlated with geography. Goggia lineata and G. rupicola are shown to be non-monophyletic, and examination of external morphology supports the distinctiveness of these lineages. We describe two new species to accommodate the southern lineages of “G. lineata” and “G. rupicola”: Goggia incognita sp. nov. and Goggia matzikamaensis sp. nov. Both new species are separated from their northern relatives by geographic barriers: the Knersvlakte plain for G. incognita sp. nov. and G. lineata, and the high Kamiesberg mountains for G. matzikamaensis sp. nov. and G. rupicola. The possible roles of geography, ecology, and climate in promoting diversification within Goggia are discussed.

A new leafhopper genus Papuakutara gen. nov. is described from Papua New Guinea, with two new species, P. ficus sp. nov. and P. robustipenis sp. nov. Kutara lucidicosta (Walker, 1870) is transferred to Papuakutara comb. nov. A checklist of the genera in the subtribe Paraboloponina from Papua New Guinea and West Papua and a key for their separation are provided.

Two new species of the genus Sphictostethus Kohl, 1884 are described and illustrated from New Guinea (Indonesia: West Papua). Both species, S. papua Loktionov & Lelej, sp. nov. and S. arfak Loktionov & Lelej, sp. nov. differ from congeners by their peculiar head and clypeus shape, the presence of tubercles on the mesopleuron and propodeum, and the well-developed metasomal petiole. The genus Sphictostethus is newly recorded from New Guinea as a new northernmost border for their distribution within the Australian Region. An addition to the key of Australian species is given.

Two New Species

Two new species of gecarcinucid crabs of the genus Holthuisana Bott, 1969, are described from the islands of Waigeo and Batanta in West Papua Province, Indonesia. Holthuisana lipkei n. sp. differs from the allied H. alba Holthuis, 1980, from Papua New Guinea by having fully developed pigmented eyes, smooth carapace, smooth and distinctly gaping second major chela, and the relatively more slender male first gonopod. Holthuisana tikus n. sp. resembles H. subconvexa (Roux, 1927) from Papua Province but differs by possessing indistinct and shallow epigastric lobes on the carapace, the absence of a subdistal tooth on the upper margin of the ambulatory merus of pereiopods 2-5 and a relatively stouter male first gonopod. The taxonomic status of Holthuisana and its constituent species is also discussed.

A New Species

Heminicsara Karny, 1912 is a katydid genus of Agraeciini from the Axylus genus group. It currently comprises 62 species from mainly New Guinea and surrounding archipelagos. Based on recent fieldwork in Lobo in West Papua, Indonesia, a new species of Heminicsara is described here: Heminicsara incrassata sp. nov. It is most readily characterised from congeners and other species of the Axylus genus group by the male tenth abdominal tergite forming a large shield-shaped plate. This represents the first species of Heminicsara described and known from the south-west of New Guinea.
