Papua New Guinea

From Kenrick, 1907 plates, publication Kenrick, 1907. On Pyralidae of British New Guinea. Proc.Zool.Soc.London 1907 t.4:69- plate IV-fig.171 (There are many more species listed in this publication that do not figure on the plates) user:Tonton Bernardo

Sometimes very difficult to know which side of the island

I'd suggest that we should put both here: New Guinea (former dutch half, now Indonesia), and Papua New Guinea (=former British & German New Guinea). Many descriptions don't mention, other expeditions crossed the "nowaday" frontier - but don't state where the specimen where collected. In fact, all descriptions before 1880 = begin of the colonial "age" at that part of the world) are without or unspecified indications. Anyway, it's one island, and 90-95% of species should be found on both sides. Moth don't care about border-checkpoints.
