Rhinochimaera pacifica previously known only from Japan and Peru is reported and described from 23 New Zealand specimens taken on the Chatham Rise, Challenger Plateau and east of Stewart Island in depths of 750-1110 m. Comparison with R.atlantica, the other nominal species, shows that R.pacifica differs only in its higher number of denticulations on the upper caudal margin of males (34-69 in New Zealand and Japanese specimens, 25-30 in R.atlantica).
