Morphological characters of the rarely collected genus Microlomaptera Kraatz, 1885 are discussed. Microlomaptera georgei sp. nov. is described from the Arfak Mountains laying in the westernmost part of New Guinea Island. The new species is compared with other representatives of the genus occurring in the central and eastern parts of New Guinea and its offshore islands. Six currently known species, four from the mainland and two species from nearby Aru and Misool Islands (Indonesia) are compared with the new species, including genitalia of males (if the male is known). An updated checklist of all species, with type localities and distribution of species is provided. The generic placement of Microlomaptera clarki Allard, 1995 and Microlomaptera hudsoni Allard, 1995 and subtribal placement of Microlomaptera Kraatz, 1885 are briefly discussed.
