Neosilurus novaeguineae is a freshwater eeltail catfish described by Max Weber in 1907.[2][3] It is endemic to northern New Guinea.[3][4] The common name New Guinea tandan has been proposed for it.[3]
This catfish prefers deeper pools of small streams that are often littered with logs and branches. It grows to 21 cm (8.3 in) standard length.[3]
