Abstract
A new species, Orchestes (Nomizo) telnovi Legalov, sp. nov. from Indonesian New Guinea is described and illustrated. This new species differs from Orchestes kamiyai (Morimoto, 1984) in the colour of scales on the pronotum, scutellar shield and elytra, yellow rostrum in males, denticulate metafomora, and acuminate apex of the aedeagus. This is the first record of the genus Orchestes for New Guinea and the Papuan biogeographical region.
