Synopeas from New Guinea is revised, including 16 new species and four previously named species. The concepts for these species were developed in conjunction with a CO1 analysis that includes 16 New Guinean species and 3 Synopeas species from other regions. The molecular analysis determined that the New Guinea fauna does not form a clade, indicating multiple migrations. The following species are described and keyed: S. amandae Awad, sp. nov., S. anunu Awad, sp. nov., S. butterilli Buhl, S. codex Awad, sp. nov., S. csoszi Buhl, S. kalubia Awad, sp. nov., S. kiki Awad, sp. nov., S. kira Awad, sp. nov., S. klingunculum Awad, sp. nov., S. luli Awad, sp. nov., S. occultum Awad, sp. nov., S. pattiae Awad, sp. nov., S. psychotriae Buhl, S. pterocarpi Buhl, S. pulupulu Awad, sp. nov., S. roncavei Awad, sp. nov., S. sanga Awad, sp. nov., S. toto Awad, sp. nov., S. valavala Awad, sp. nov., S. zhangi Awad, sp. nov. Leptacis pleuralis (Buhl), comb. nov. is transferred from Synopeas. Images of 56 holotypes of Synopeas are made publicly available online.
