Abstract
Five new species of New Guinean Papuadytes Balke are described. Based on distally fused and modified ventral sclerites of the median lobe of the aedeagus, the P. broschii species group is suggested for P. broschii Balke, 1998, P. marinae sp. nov., and P. hintelmannae sp. nov. This group is only known from Papua New Guinea where the species occur allopatrically in different mountain ranges. The other new species are P. atowaso sp. nov., P. munaso sp. nov., and P. vladimiri sp. nov.
