The Papuan scrub robin or New Guinea scrub robin (Drymodes beccarii) is a species of bird in the family Petroicidae. It was found to be genetically distinct from the northern scrub robin, with which it was formerly considered conspecific.[2]
It is found in New Guinea and the Aru Islands. There are three subspecies.
- D. b. beccarii (Salvadori, 1876) – Arfak and Wandammen Mountains, western New Guinea
- D. b. brevirostris (De Vis, 1897) – southern and south-eastern New Guinea with the Aru Islands
- D. b. nigriceps (Rand, 1940) – northern New Guinea eastwards to Telefomin, with the Torricelli Mountains and Adelbert Range
