Abstract
The Brazilian expeditions Revizee and Oceanprof collected samples from the southwest Brazilian coast between depths of 200 and 2200m. These expeditions sampled eleven species ofOplophoridae, ten of them new records for Southwestern Atlantic: Oplophorus gracilirostris A. Milne Edwards, 1881; O. spinosus (Brullé, 1839); Acanthephyra eximia A Milne Edwards, 1881; A. acutifrons Bate, 1888; A. quadrispinosa Kemp, 1939; A. stylorostratis (Bate, 1888); Ephyrina benedicti Smith, 1885; Janicella spinicauda (A. Milne Edwards, 1883); Notostomus elegans A. Milne Edwards, 1881; Systellaspis debilis (A. Milne Edwards, 1881) and S. pellucida (Filhol, 1885). The specimens are described and figured.References
