Abstract

The family Pasiphaeidae is composed of seven genera, and only one of these genera, Leptochela, has been recorded from off Brazilian waters. From collections made during the Revizee Program — Central Score (between 11°–22°S and 200–2200m), four species are recorded for the first time from off the Brazilian coast: Pasiphaea merriami, Pasiphaea princeps, Parapasiphae cristata and Parapasiphae sulcatifrons.
