A new boxfish, Kentrocapros flavimaculatus, is described on the basis of two specimens collected from New Zealand. The new species is distinguished from all other species of Kentrocapros by the following combination of characters: many yellow spots on the lateral sides of the body, a distinct spine on the middle of each dorsolateral ridge of the carapace, no spines on the lateral and ventrolateral ridges, and the gill opening located below the posterior half of the eye.
