The genus is restricted to New Guinea. Nine new species were discovered to belong to this originally monotypic genus. Two species groups are recognized, the aurantiaca species group with six species, of which five are new to science: Lambulosia aurantiaca (Rothschild, 1912), L. arabuensis sp. n., L. gemmata sp. n., L. metallescens sp. n., L. flavoradiata sp. n. and L. brunnescens sp. n.; and the nigrolineata species group with four species new to science: L. nigrolineata sp. n., L. nigrotriangula sp. n., L. obscurata sp. n. and L. punctilineata sp. n.

  • What I Did and What I Saw
    NEW GUINEA WHAT I DID AND WHAT I SAW Barry Craig, 2018 [email protected] Photos copyright B. Craig unless otherwise attributed I guess I was destined to be a walker from an early age ̶ I may have got that from my father. Boot camp, c.1941 Martin Place, Sydney, c.1941 Because my father fought at Sattelberg in the hills west of Finschhafen in 1943, I became fascinated by New Guinea and read avidly. After studying anthropology at the University of Sydney I went to PNG as an Education Officer in 1962. I asked to be posted to Telefomin. Languages of Central New Guinea I lived at Telefomin 1962-65. In 1963-64, Bryan Cranstone, British Museum, was based at Tifalmin west of Telefomin to research and collect items of material culture. His method of documenting things that he collected drew my attention to the house boards and shields of the region. He became my mentor. I was fortunate to witness the last of the male initiation ceremonies – dakasalban candidates with sponsor at left, otban at right. In 1964, I collected about 320 items of material culture for the Australian Museum, supported with photographs, and began a survey of all house boards and shields in the wider region, extended in 1967. This resulted in a Masters Thesis in 1969 and a booklet in 1988. At Bolovip, the board photographed by Champion in 1926 (left) was still there in 1967 (top right) but had been discarded by 1981.

Abstract Lithosiini genera of the Asura / Miltochrista generic complex related to Barsine Walker, 1854 sensu lato and Asura Walker, 1854 are overviewed. Barsine is considered to be a group having such an autapomorphic feature as a basal saccular process of valva only. Many species without this process are separated to the diverse and species-rich genus Ammatho stat. nov., which is subdivided here into eight subgenera including Idopterum Hampson, 1894 downgraded here to a subgenus level, and six new subgenera: Ammathella Volynkin, subgen. nov., Composine Volynkin, subgen. nov., Striatella Volynkin & Huang, subgen. nov., Conicornuta Volynkin, subgen. nov., Delineatia Volynkin & Huang, subgen. nov. and Rugosine Volynkin, subgen. nov. A number of groups of species considered previously by various authors as members of Barsine are erected here to 20 new genera and four subgenera: Ovipennis (Barsipennis) Volynkin, subgen.

The Kum Kom prospect approximately 25kms northeast from Ok Tedi copper mine is the fifth prospect drilled by Highlands in the Star Mountains, the fourth that has encountered copper porphyry mineralisation and the first with skarn-style alteration - often associated with higher grade copper-gold zones. Assays have been received for the 354 metre diamond core hole at Kum Kom (001KUM12) and assays are pending for a further 480 metre second drill hole (002KUM12) from the same pad position but in the opposite direction. Assays for this first Kum Kom drill hole show an initial lower grade zone to 140 metres before a high grade alteration zone of 22 metres of 1.42% copper and 0.57 g/t gold. Deeper drilling in the same hole below 280 metres encountered a second zone of 68 metres at 0.97% copper and 0.37 g/t gold before drilling ended still in mineralisation.

Twelve species were found at two sites below 100 m near Kwerba, a small village adjacent to the Mamberamo River. Thirteen species were recorded at 'Moss Camp' at 1650 m in the Foja Mountains. Of these Hemicordulia ericetorum was previously only known from the central mountain range while Oreaeschna dictatrix was only known from Lake Paniai and the Cyclops Mountains. It is likely that more genera and species now known onlyfrom the central mountain range occur in the Foja Mountains and probably also the Van Rees Mountains. However one species, Argiolestes spec. nov. is probably endemie to the Foja Mountains. Although this collection includes only a small fraction of the diversity likely to be present in the mountains it is nonetheless of interest as it represents the first records of dragonflies from the area.

Around the world, large-scale metals mining takes an enormous toll on the health of the environment and communities. Gold mining, in particular, is one of the dirtiest industries in the world. Massive open-pit mines, some measuring as much as two miles (3.2 kilometers) across, generate staggering quantities of waste—an average of 76 tons for every ounce of gold.1 In the US, metals mining is the leading contributor of toxic emissions to the environment.2 And in countries such as Ghana, Romania, and the Philippines, mining has also been associated with human rights violations, the displacement of people from their homes, and the disruption of traditional livelihoods.

Published online at www.senckenberg.de/vertebrate-zoology on May 28, 2018. Editor in charge: Raffael Ernst Abstract Two new microhylid frogs in the genera Choerophryne and Oreophryne are described from the Foja Mountains in Papua Province of Indonesia. Both are small species (males 15.9 – 18.5 mm snout-urostyle length [SUL] and 21.3 – 22.9 mm SUL respectively) that call from elevated positions on foliage in primary lower montane rainforest. The new Choerophryne species can be distinguished from all congeners by, among other characters, a unique advertisement call consisting of an unpulsed (or very finely pulsed) peeping note last- ing 0.29 – 0.37 seconds. The new Oreophryne species belongs to a group that has a cartilaginous connection between the procoracoid and scapula and rattling advertisement calls. Its advertisement call is a loud rattle lasting 1.2 – 1.5 s with a note repetition rate of 11.3 – 11.7 notes per second. Kurzfassung Es werden zwei neue Engmaulfrösche der Gattungen Choerophryne und Oreophryne aus den Foja-Bergen in der Papua Provinz von Indonesien beschrieben.

  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

The western half of the island of New Guinea comprises the Indonesian provinces of West Papua (Papua Barat) and Papua, collectively once called West Irian or Irian Jaya; the eastern half of the main island of New Guinea comprises the country of Papua New Guinea. We will be based in West Papua for this exhilarating, small-group birding adventure. Aside from the large landmass of New Guinea, the New Guinea region includes numerous small islands (some part of Indonesia and others part of Papua New Guinea), and we will visit one of these areas: Waigeo, part of the Raja Ampat Archipelago in West Papua (also known as the Northwestern Islands). Approximately 680 bird species have been recorded from West Papua, from slightly more than 700 for the whole New Guinea region. Some 550 species are considered breeding residents, with 279 New Guinea endemics (found in Indonesia and/or Papua New Guinea) and at least an additional 42 endemics found only in West Papua. There are also over 115 Palearctic and Australian migrant species and a range of seabirds which spend some of their time in West Papua.

  • Building Capacity for Multidisciplinary Landscape Assessment in Papua: Three Phases of Training and Pilot Assessments in the Mamberamo Basin
    P.O. Box 6596 JKPWB Tel. (62) 251 622622 Jakarta 10065 Fax (62) 251 622100 CIFOR Indonesia Building Capacity for Multidisciplinary Landscape Assessment in Papua: three phases of training and pilot assessments in the Mamberamo Basin A report based on work jointly undertaken in 2004 by the Center for International Forestry Research, Conservation International (Papua Program), Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI), 18 Papua- based Trainees, and the people of Papasena-I and Kwerba Villages. MLA in Papua, Page 1 SUMMARY Conservation International (CI) supports a number of ongoing initiatives in the Mamberamo area of Papua. The principal aims are to strengthen biodiversity conservation and environmental management and facilitate the creation of a ‘Mamberamo Biodiversity Conservation Corridor’, which links currently established protected areas through strategically placed ‘indigenous forest reserves’. Two primary requirements are 1) to find suitable means to allow local communities to participate in decision-making processes, and 2) capacity building of locally based researchers to assist in planning and developing this program. The MLA training reported here is designed to build capacity and assess options and opportunities within this context. The Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has developed methods for assessing 'what really matters' to communities living in tropical forest landscapes. Known as the Multidisciplinary Landscape Assessment or ‘MLA' (see http://www.cifor.cgiar.org/mla), this approach enhances understanding amongst conservation and development practitioners, policy makers and forest communities. Information yielded through the MLA can identify where local communities’ interests and priorities might converge (or conflict) with conservation and sustainable development goals. CIFOR's MLA methods have already been applied in Indonesia (East Kalimantan), Bolivia and Cameroon.
