ZooKeys 148: 55–103. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.148.1826 Abstract Recently, we completed a revision of the Termitidae from New Guinea and neighboring islands, record- ing a total of 45 species. Here, we revise a second family, the Rhinotermitidae, to progress towards a full picture of the termite diversity in New Guinea. Altogether, 6 genera and 15 species are recorded, among which two species, Coptotermes gambrinus and Parrhinotermes barbatus, are new to science. The genus Heterotermes is reported from New Guinea for the first time, with two species restricted to the southern part of the island.
