Abstract
    Species of the bothid genus Engyprosopon collected from the waters around New Caledonia are reviewed. Nine species are described and an identification key provided: E. septempes sp. nov., E. rostratum sp. nov., E. bellonaensis sp. nov., E. longipterum sp. nov., E. macrolepis, E. hureaui, E. xystrias, E. grandisquamum and E. maldivensis. Records of E. macrolepis, E. hureaui, and E. xystrias are new for this region. Sexual dimorphism and relationships are discussed for each species. Based on comparisons of type specimens, Engyprosopon maculipinnis, E. borneensis and E. macroptera are shown to be junior synonyms of E. maldivensis.
