| - As a result of an expedition to New Caledonia, the south-east Pacific whip spider species Charinus australianus (L. Koca, 1867) and C. neocaledonicus KRAEPELIN, 1895, the first Charinus species that had been described, are redescribed and clearly differentiated. C. neocaledonicus, an epigeic species, is endemic to New Caledonia. The New Caledonian population of C. australianus is cavernicolus. It is recognized as an endemic subspecies that has split into at least three subspecies, C. australianus cavernicolus, C. a. elegans and C. a. longipes. In addition, C. pecki n. sp., perhaps a cavernicolus sister species of C. neocaledonicus, is described as a new species. All these taxa are closely related, they are members of the Charinus australianus species group that contains two more south-east Pacific species. C. pescotti from Australia is redescribed, and C. papuanus n. sp. from Papua New Guinea is described as a new species. The interrelationships of these species and their relationships to C. australianus from Samoa, Fiji and other places and to other species of the C. australianus species group like C. koepckei WEYGOLDT, 1972 from Peru and C. insularis BASKS, 1902 from Galapagos and perhaps even C. milloti FAGE, 1939 are discussed.
