Abstract. The recent discovery of snake-necked turtles in the Mimika District of western Papua, Indonesia, represents a new distribution record for the genus Chelodina; leading here to the description of a morphologically distinct species, Chelodina gunaleni sp. nov. This new species appears to be biogeographically isolated (allopatric) from all previously known snake-necked turtle populations in New Guinea. A formal description and diagnosis are given herein. Key words: Turtle, Pleurodira, chelid, Chelodina gunaleni sp. nov., Irian Jaya, Papua, Indonesia, New Guinea.
