Abstract

Four species of Ophelina, collected from the deep waters off southern Brazil (700–2000 m) between 21°18 S and 23° S, are described, viz., Ophelina abranchiata, O. cf. cylindricaudata, O. chaetifera and O. aulogastrella. These reports extend the distribution of O. abranchiata and O. chaetifera to the South Atlantic Ocean and the distribution of O. aulogastrella to the western South Atlantic.
