The New Guinea list uses a subset of species from the complete world taxonomy maintained by the IOC and which is updated regularly at www.worldbirdnames.org. This list covers the Island of New Guinea in Melanesia, comprising Western New Guinea (West Papua) in Indonesia, and the independent state of Papua New Guinea, for which separate checklists are available.
