Hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) collected on the continental shelf of Brazil during the GEOMAR X Oceanographic Operation. A total of 53 species of hydroids, belonging to 29 genera and 11 families, was collected at 57 oceanographic stations established during Operation GEOMAR X on board the Oceanographic Vessel “Almirante Câmara”, of the Ministry of the Navy, during May- June 1978. Areas investigated were the northern coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, the coast of Espírito Santo, and the southern coast of Bahia. In the present contribution, the genus Antennella is recorded for the first time from the Brazilian coast. Antennella curvitheca Fraser, 1937 is reported for the first time from the southern hemisphere while Antennella campanulaformis (Mulder & Trebilcock, 1909) and Salacia desmoides (Torrey, 1902) are reported for the first time from the Atlantic Ocean. Five other species, Lafoea dumosa (Fleming, 1820), Antennella quadriaurita Ritchie, 1909, Nemertesia antennina (Linnaeus, 1758), Sertularella polyzonias (Linnaeus, 1758) and Hincksella cylindrica (Bale, 1888) were collected from Brazil for the first time. The reported bathymetric distributions of 28 species previously known from the Brazilian coast are extended. The known geographic distributions of seven species are extended along the coast, five northwards and two southwards.
Kishinouyea corbini Larson, 1980 is recorded from Santa Cruz, Espirito Santo State, southeastern Brazil. This is the first record of the order Stauromedusae from Brazil, and also from the tropical Southern Hemisphere. Kishinouyea corbini has been known only from two localities in Puerto Rico, and this new record constitutes a great southward extension of the known range of the species. This is also the first report of the species since its original description, so a description of the Brazilian specimens and a comparison with the type material are given. Records of Stauromedusae in the Southern Hemisphere are briefly reviewed.
) collected on the inner continental shelf of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the Oceanographic Operations GEOCOSTA RIO I and II. Biota Neotrop. 11(2): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n2/en/ abstract?article+bn03711022011Abstract: The Brazilian Navy (DHN/MB) commissioned a series of Oceanographic Operations covering almost the entire inner continental shelf of the country from the 1960s through the 1980s. Surveys provided geological data on the sea bottom and marine biota along the entire Brazilian coast. This report lists data on 15 hydroid species collected during Operations GEOCOSTA RIO I in 1979 and GEOCOSTA RIO II in 1986, at (Vanhöffen, 1910), e Orthopyxis integra (Macgillivray, 1842). A distribuição de três espécies (Aglaophenia rhynchocarpa, Plumularia strobilophora, Clytia paulensis) foi ampliada na costa brasileira rumo ao sul. A distribuição batimétrica de seis espécies (B. vestita, P. strobilophora, C. hincksii, C. paulensis, D. dalmasi, O. integra) também foi ampliada na plataforma continental brasileira.

A new species of synaptid holothurian, Leptosynapta brasiliensis n. sp., is described. The species shows affinities with Leptosynapta minuta (BECHER, 1906)
This paper revises a previous attempt (Dick, 1977) to identify the ichthyological collection sites of the Thayer Expedition to Brazil (1865-66), and proposes a standardized database that includes, for each collection site (station): original and current denominations, approximate coordinates, current Brazilian political unit (state) where it is located, collectors and date of collection. A total of 157 collecting stations were determined in northern, eastern and northeastern Brazil.
