A new species of the genus Nosodendron Latreille, 1804 (Nosodendridae), Nosodendron carolinense Yoshitomi, new species, is described from Dublon Island in the Chuuk Atoll of the Caroline Islands. The species is similar to Nosodendron prudeki Háva, 2000 known from southern Thailand, but differs by body size, punctation of the mentum, and shape of aedeagus. This is the first record of the family from Micronesia.
