ABSTRACT. Philaccolilus sagatai sp.n. is described from the Bewani Mountains of Papua New Guinea. The lotic species was collected from sandy banks of a lowland rainforest stream. Important species characters (median lobe, colour pattern, microreticulation of the pronotal and elytral base, and hind margin of sternum 5 and 6) are figured. Altogether 13 species of the genus are now known from New Guinea.
