First described from the Chesterfield Reefs New Caledonia based on two specimens deposited at NHMN. We have found another specimen of H. laboutei in the collection of the Australian Museum also from Chesterfield Reefs. The type locality is not far from Australian waters so this species is likely to occur on reef complexes within eastern Australian waters ( Cogger, 2007 ) and therefore we include it in the possible list.
