Abstract
Six new species of the genus Enalcyonium are described as parasites of octocorals of New Caledonia. They are Enalcyonium lobophyti, E. humesi, E. caledonensis, and E. auriculatum from the alcyonacean Lobophyton schoedei Moser, E. capillatum from the gorgonacean Rumphella antipathes (L.), and E. bullatum from the gorgonacean Siphonogorgia variabilis (Hickson). This is the first record on the species of Enalcyonium from the South Pacific.
