摘要本文描述了产于巴布亚新几内亚东南端的两种独特的眼镜蛇属新种。第一个种是T. mintoni sp. nov.，在该属中是独一无二的，它的额部与上目镜融合在一起。它是一个相当纤细的物种，均匀的浅棕色着色，只有一个单一的标本从中部南部岛。第二个种，T. Pachysomus sp. nov.，其独特之处在于其具有与前额不融合的独特的前眼，与前眼接触的鼻间，与鼻接触的第二上唇，以及成对的尾下。它粗壮的体型在该属中是独一无二的，它的小眼睛也很独特。该物种也仅从新几内亚岛最东南部的Cloudy Mountains的一个标本中得知。米尔恩湾省（Milne Bay Province）位于新几内亚的东南端及其邻近的近海岛屿，是毒蜥属（Toxicocalamus）的多样性中心，该属的11种中有5种是该省特有的。
Abstract I describe two distinctive new species of elapid snakes of the genus Toxicocalamus from the southeastern end of Papua New Guinea. The first species, T. mintoni sp. nov., is unique within the genus in having the frontal fused with the supraoculars. It is a fairly gracile species of uniformly light-brown coloration and is known from only a single specimen from central Sudest Island. The second species, T. pachysomus sp. nov., is unique in its combination of having a distinct preocular unfused with the prefrontal, the internasal in contact with the preocular, the second supralabial in contact with the nasal, and paired subcaudals. Its stout habitus is unique within the genus, and its small eye is also distinctive. This species too is known from only a single specimen from the Cloudy Mountains, the southeasternmost portion of the island of New Guinea. Milne Bay Province, which is comprised of the southeastern extremity of New Guinea and its adjacent offshore islands, is a center of diversity for the genus Toxicocalamus, with five of 11 species in that genus endemic to that province.
