Abstract
    Nineteen species of deep water Portunids were collected by the French expeditions in the waters around New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, Chesterfield Islands, South Pacific Islands (Wallis and Futuna) and by the Franco-Indonesian Expedition KARUBAR in the waters around the islands of Kai, Aru and Tanimbar, Indonesia. Charybdis (Charybdis) rosaea is rediscovered from Indonesian waters, the type specimen - a dry female preserved in Paris Museum - is identified here as the holotype. Four new species, Nectocarcinus caledonicus, Nectocarcinus pubescens, Brusinia profunda and Portunus lecromi, are described. Almost all the species collected from New Caledonian and adjacent waters are new records.
