| - Only two species of Limnichidae (Coleoptera) have so far been recorded from New Caledonia, both by FAUVEL (1903): Byrrhinus antipodum FAUVEL, 1903 and Pelochares versicolor (WALTL, 1833). Byrrhinus antipodum is supposed to be endemic to New Caledonia. The types could not be retrieved by the authors. The record of Pelochares versicolor is probably based on misidentification, because this species is confined to the Palearctic Realm. The New Caledonian specimens of Pelochares MULSANT & REY examined are specifically different from P. versicolor and described here as P. fauveli sp.n. A checklist of the Limnichidae species known from the Australian/Pacific Region is provided. All original descriptions are listed in the references. The following new combinations are introduced: Pelochares australis (ERICHSON, 1842) comb.n. (Limnichus), Pelochares decorus (BROUN, 1880) comb.n. (Limnichus), Pelochares ellipticus (LEA, 1920) comb.n. (Limnichus), Pelochares nigripes (BROUN, 1893) comb.n. (Limnichus), Pelochares picinus (BROUN, 1881) comb.n. (Limnichus), and Pelochares punctatus (BROUN, 1880) comb.n. (Limnichus). Pseudeucinetus novabritannica DELEVE, 1973 is recorded from New Guinea for the first time.
