Abstract

In this study, a remarkable new species of the genus Byrsax Pascoe, 1860 (Tenebrionidae: Tenebrioninae: Bolitophagini), Byrsax titanus sp. nov. from the rainforests of Batanta Island, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, is described and illustrated. Additionally, a checklist and a key of Byrsax species of the Papuan Region is provided.
