Papua New Guinea is a treasure trove of new species - 24 new species of frogs, 2 new mammals, and nearly a hundred new insects, just from expeditions to PNG's Nakanai and Muller mountain ranges.
I really liked the tube-nosed fruit bat (Genus Nyctimene), which has yet to be formally documented as a new species, or even named. May I suggest Nyctimene falkoris?
