Abstract: The authors summarize the results of 15 years of research on Batanta. The most intensively studied taxa are Marchantiophyta, with 48 taxa identified, including 3 new taxa, as well as three groups of aquatic insects: Ephemeroptera, with six new species; Odonata, with 67 species, 10 of them new; and Trichoptera, with 163 species, 157 of them new. For Marchantiophyta, Odonata, and Trichoptera, we present a checklists for Batanta and on maps, plot the number of species collected at our survey areas. Additional results include one new gastropod species (synonym), one bivalve species new to Batanta, and five oligochaete species new to Batanta. We also report a Neoperla species (Plecoptera), which is very rare in the New Guinea region. To date, 172 new species has been described within this program. The project will be continued, and many further new results are expected from the island of Batanta, renowned for its outstanding natural beauty.
