Mitrella neocaledonica n. sp. is most similar to M. philia (Duclos. 1846), a species also found in New Caledonia typically at depths of 2-80 m. Mitrella philia is easily distinguished by its more shouldered shell, incised suture, much more pronounced basal cords and columella with a distinct rim with strong denticles.
