Three specimens of Hippichthys albomaculosus Jenkins & Mailautoka, 2010, only known from Fiji, were recently collected from the North Province of New Caledonia. Morphomeristic values confirm the identity of specimens. This study constitutes the first record of this species in New Caledonia and outside of its type locality.
