Abstract

Six species of deep sea decapod crustaceans (Chaceon gordonae, Bathynectes longispina, Dromia bollorei, Homola mini-ma, Nematocarcinus gracilipes and Plesionika martia) were sampled around the vicinity of São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago, Brazil (0°55´N; 29°21´W), after nine scientific surveys to explore demersal and benthic species in the area. Specimens were collected by bottom traps between 200 and 700 m deep, from 2012 to 2015. The current record enlarges the knowledge of the distribution of five of these species, new to the Archipelago. Chaceon gordonae was previously known to the area.
