For practical reasons the list represents all New Guinea species, including those from PNG, because from many species no exact locality data are known. Further inventories must establish the actual occurence in Papua Indonesia.

Species of which the occurence in Papua is not certain or not yet established are coloured grey.

Listed New Guinea species: 190 (44 with certainty from Papua)

The Stick Insects are represented in New Guinea by: DIAPHEROMERIDAE (Lonchodinae, Necrosciinae, Pachymorphinae), PHASMATIDAE (Phasmatinae, Platycraninae, Xeroderinae, Eurycanthinae, Tropidoderinae)
