Abstract
The genus Phaloria belongs to the monophyletic cricket subfamily Phaloriinae. It is s speciose group comprising 68 species found across Southeast Asia and New Guinea and Australia. The numerical diversity of Phaloria in New Guinea is impressive, but more species still await discovery owing to the large size and remoteness of the island. Based on new material collected from Lobo and Kumawa in West Papua (Indonesia), we describe six new species: Phaloria dischidia Tan Robillard, sp. nov. from Lobo; Phaloria paradischidia Tan Robillard, sp. nov. from Kumawa; Phaloria tukul Tan Robillard, sp. nov. from Lobo; Phaloria brevis Tan Robillard, sp. nov. from Kumawa; Phaloria berbeda Tan Robillard, sp. nov. from Lobo; Phaloria lobulata Tan Robillard, sp. nov. from Kumawa. We also record new localities for a species widespread in Lobo and Kumawa: Phaloria nr. aspersa Gorochov, 1996.
