Two thecate hydroids, Carpocladus fertilis Vervoort & Watson, 2003 (family Aglaopheniidae Marktanner-Turneretscher,
1890) and Gonaxia constricta (Totton, 1930) (family Gonaxiidae Maggioni, in Galea & Maggioni, 2021), are recorded for
the first time from off New Caledonia, thus outside their original area of distribution in New Zealand waters. Specimens
of both sexes of C. fertilis occur in the present collection, allowing the first description of its so far unknown female
gonothecae. The trophosome of G. constricta, the only known to date, is thoroughly redescribed, pending the discovery
of its gonothecae.
