"Nyctimystes papua has been recorded from a wide area of New Guinea, but evidence developed here suggests that the only specimens that can be referred with confidence to the species are some of those in the syntype series. A lectotype is proposed for N. papua and the papua species group is characterized. Members include N. papua, N. disrupta, N. trachydermis, and N. tyleri, the last two described as new. Attention is called to several samples of papua group populations that are too poorly known for allocation to described species or naming"--P. [1]
