Abstract

The genus Eustrongylosoma is currently represented in New Guinea by 23 species, including nine new from the Telefomin area, Finim Tel Plateau and Mount Fugilil, western Papua New Guinea: E. curtipes sp. n., E. liklik sp. n., E. maculatum sp. n., E. masalai sp. n., E. mirabile sp. n., E. pallidum sp. n., E. papua sp. n., E. tifalmin sp. n. and E. tumbuna sp. n. The genus has been rediagnosed, all of its known New Guinea species have been keyed, and their distributions mapped.
