Nine new species groups of Exocelina Broun, 1886 from New Guinea are introduced with keys to their representatives. Four groups are monotypic and include three new species: the E. aipomek group, the E. koroba group: E. korobasp. nov., the E. mekilensis group: E. mekilensissp. nov., and the E. morobensis group: E. morobensissp. nov. The remaining five species groups include 18 species with 12 new species and one new subspecies: the E. bacchusi group: E. akamekusp. nov., E. oiwasp. nov., E. oksibilensissp. nov., and E. bacchusi herzogensisssp. nov.; the E. jaseminae group: E. asekisp. nov., E. kailakisp. nov., and E. pseudojaseminaesp. nov.; the E. larsoni group: E. warahulenensissp. nov.; the E. takime group: E. mianminensissp. nov.; and the E. warasera group: E. haiasp. nov., E. kobausp. nov., E. pulchellasp. nov., and E. waraserasp. nov. Diagnoses of five already described species of these groups are provided, as well as comparatives notes on all species. Exocelina santimontis (Balke, 1998) syn. nov. is a junior synonym of E. aipomek (Balke, 1998). Data on the distribution of the species are given, showing that most of the species of these groups occur in the Papua New Guinea.

Biodiversity knowledge is widely heterogeneous across the Earth's biomes. Some areas, due to their remoteness and difficult access, present large taxonomic knowledge gaps. Mostly located in the tropics, these areas have frequently experienced a fast development of anthropogenic activities during the last decades and are therefore of high conservation concerns. The biodiversity hotspots of Southeast Asia exemplify the stakes faced by tropical countries. While the hotspots of Sundaland (Java, Sumatra, Borneo) and Wallacea (Sulawesi, Moluccas) have long attracted the

BackgroundTo date only one species of Limbodessus diving beetles has been reported from the Island of New Guinea, L. compactus (Clark, 1862), which is widerspread in the Australian region.New informationWe describe two new species of microendemic New Guinea Limbodessus and use a compact descriptive format flanked by enriched online content in wiki powered species pages. Limbodessus baliem sp.n. is described from ca. 1,600 m altitude in the Baliem Valley of Papua and Limbodessus alexanderi sp.n. from >3,000 m altitude north of Sugapa, Papua.Based on our analysis, we also transfer three species from other genera to Limbodessus Guignot, 1939, with the following changes: Limbodessus deflectus (Ordish, 1966), new combination; Limbodessus leveri (J. Balfour-Browne, 1944), new combination; and Limbodessus plicatus (Sharp, 1882), new combination.

Diversity study of beetles from Family of Tenebrionidae was conducted at forest areas in the district Bonggo, Sarmi Papua from September-October 2010. The Beetles were collected using a cross-wet trap placed at three locations in the former logged merbau (Intsia sp.) and sengon (Albisia sp.) areas. The data collected were the number of species and number of individuals in each species with indicators to compare beetle diversity based on species richness (s). The result showed that out of a total of 8 individuals of Tenebrionidae, there were seven different species identified during field observations. The highest number of beetles was found in the former logged Intsia spare as (4 species at third location and 2 species at the first location) followed by former logged Albisia sp areas (1 species at both locations).Key words: diversity, beetles, Tenebrionidae; Bonggo District, Jayapura.

Ornitophera sp. is one of the groups of butterflies endemic in Papua and West Papua provinces. The significant morphological differences between male and female butterflies (dimorphism) are in the shape, size and color of the wings. Morphological characteristics are important sources of information. Based on the results of specimen collections at the Papua Insect Collection Laboratory (KSP) Jayapura, there are several species from various locations in Papua. The variation in dimorphism is likely to occur in this species which gives rise to new sub-species. The purpose of this study was to record the dimorphism of the endemic Bird Wing of Papua which had been stored in the Papua Insect Collection Laboratory (KSP) Jayapura. The method used is a direct measurement of the morphology of bird wing butterfly specimens stored in the KSP Laboratory, Cenderawasih University. Morphometric data were analyzed using the SPSS 20 and Multi Variate Statistical Package (MVSP 3.1) programs. The results obtained were 7 Ornithoptera species stored in the KSP Jayapura Laboratory, namely O. chiamera, O. goliath, O. meridionalis, O. paradisea, O. priamus, O. thitonus and O. rothschildi. Based on observations there are striking differences in color, shape and size between male and female in the same species.   Key words: birdwing butterfly, Ornithoptera sp., KSP Jayapura, dimorphisme.

Lepidoptera (Papilionoidea Superfamily) can be found easily in nature such as in the environment around the yard, forest, river and gardens. Butterflies are one of the many insects that have unique or distinctive characteristics because they have a variety of beautiful colors and wing pattern therefore it is much favored by collectors and butterfly enthusiasts both inside the country and abroad. Rephang Muaf is one of the interesting areas to study biodiversity because it is known as a natural tourism village, especially for birdwatching. The introduction of collection techniques and preservation of Lepidoptera is need to be socialized for the community in this village because in addition to obtaining skills in the process of collection and preservation of insects, this is also to increase environmental awareness and study of the surrounding environment. The objectives of implementing community service activities are: Introducing the insect specimen preservation technique (Papilionoidea Superfamily Butterfly) and practicing directly the insect specimen preservation technique to the Isyo Hills community group in Rephang Muaif Village, Nimbokrang, Jayapura Papua. This activity is carried out on May 12, 2018 in Rephang Muaif Village, Nimbokrang, Jayapura-Papua. The target audience involved in this activity were children (at the level of kindergarten, elementary, junior high and high school) and young people who are members of the Isyo Hills community group in Rephang Muaif Village. The training was conducted for 1 day, involving 36 participants. The training included the insect collection technique (Butterfly:Papilionoidea) in the field and the insect preservation technique (Butterfly:Papilionoidea). The activities for collecting and preserving butterfly insects for Isyo Hills community group in Rephang Muaif have been going well. The enthusiasm of the participants in participating in this training activity was very high. This indicates that the service participants positively welcomed the activities carried out. Keywords: Training, Insectarium, Butterfly, Rephang Muaif, Jayapura

Garbage is one of the serious environmental problems faced by developed and developing countries. The objectives of implementing community service activities are: (1) increase the knowledge of teenagers and the youths members of GKI Siloam Waena church, about waste management through the introduction and practice of inorganic waste management directly into various recycled creations, and (2) increase the awareness of teenagers and the youths members of GKI Siloam church, Waena about waste management by empowering them in managing inorganic waste into various recycled creations. Lecture and demonstration methods used in this activity. The steps are as follows: (1) lectures to deliver material about waste, types of waste, sources of waste, waste management and 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle), and inorganic waste management into various recycled creations, (2) followed by questions and answers, (3) a demonstration of the procedures or techniques for making preparations from inorganic waste by showing and using supporting tools to facilitate training participants in working, and (4) the practice of making various recycled creations. The overall activity has been successful and has been going well.Keywords: :  environmental, management, inorganic waste, jayapura, 3R
