To date only one species of Limbodessus diving beetles has been reported from the Island of New Guinea, L.compactus (Clark, 1862), which is widerspread in the Australian region. We describe two new species of microendemic New Guinea Limbodessus and use a compact descriptive format flanked by enriched online content in wiki powered species pages. Limbodessusbaliemsp.n. is described from ca. 1,600 m altitude in the Baliem Valley of Papua and Limbodessusalexanderisp.n. from >3,000 m altitude north of Sugapa, Papua. Based on our analysis, we also transfer three species from other genera to Limbodessus Guignot, 1939, with the following changes: Limbodessusdeflectus (Ordish, 1966), new combination; Limbodessusleveri (J. Balfour-Browne, 1944), new combination; and Limbodessusplicatus (Sharp, 1882), new combination.
