A new righteye flounder, Poecilopsetta multiradiata, is described from eight specimens (two males and six females) collected from deep waters (336-408 m) around New Zealand and New Caledonia (South-West Pacific). This new species is distinguished from its 14 congeners by the following combination of characters: high numbers of dorsal (70-73) and anal (58-62) fin rays, ca. 85-99 lateral-line scales, 31-32 caudal vertebrae, and a relatively shallow body depth of 36.9-41.9% SL.
