| - New Caledonian Scirtes ILLIGER (Coleoptera: Scirtidae) are revised. Scirtes caledonicus BOURGEOIS, 1884 is redescribed, and 12 new species are described: S. amoensis sp.n., S. bleuei sp.n., S. chagrinensis sp.n., S. ebenus sp.n., S. kanak sp.n., S. monteithi sp.n., S. nehouensis sp.n., S. raritas sp.n., S. rolandi sp.n., S. serra sp.n., S. vittatus sp.n., and S. wanati sp.n. New Caledonian Scirtes spp. seem to be of relatively recent origin, closely related to Australian species. Scirtes nehouensis is related to a group of Oriental species closely allied to S. affinis WATERHOUSE.
