Listed New Guinea species: 10 [no endemic species known from New Guinea]

The Latridiidae are in New Guinea represented by two subfamilies: Latridiinae and Corticariinae.

(For practical reasons all New Guinea species are listed. As soon as more distributional information comes available the list will be restricted to real Papua species).
