Abstract: Two new species, Aporhina sorongensis sp. n. and A. zimmermani sp. n. (Brentidae: Eurhynchinae), are described from the Papuan region. Aporhina sorongensis sp. n. from Indonesia (Southwest Papua) differs from A. bispinosa Boisduval, 1835 in the pronotal disс conspicuously sculptured in the middle, a shorter rostrum, and larger punctures in the elytral striae. Aporhina zimmermani sp. n. from Papua New Guinea differs from A. australis (Heller, 1896) in the larger maculae of condensed yellowish squamules on the elytra, a shorter and thicker rostrum, and a weak basal tubercle on the first and second interstriae.
