Material examined: 2M+2F, New Guinea, NE, N slope Mt Strong, 26–3000m, 8–10.I.1968, J. & M. Sedlacek, BPBM.

Comments: The hoods of the specimens recorded here have area slightly larger and have a higher median carina than the holotype. Six species of Stephanitis are known from New Guinea, four of which are endemic (Drake 1960; Drake & Ruhoff 1965). Stephanitis luzonana was previously known only from the Philippines (Luzon).
