Résumé

Oxycheilinus samurai Fukui, Muto & Motomura, 2016, previously recorded from the Philippines and Japan (type specimens), plus underwater photographic evidence from Indonesia, is recorded from New Caledonia for the first time (underwater photographs), representing a significant eastward range extension for the species. A single small specimen collected from Indonesia was also identified as O. samurai, being the first specimen-based record of the species from that region.
