摘要
About 133 species of Ophiuroidea are known from the Brazilian coast. Of these, seven belong to the family Ophiodermatidae Ljungman, 1867 and six to the genus Ophioderma Muller & Troschel, 1840. The aim of this study is to record the presence of Ophioderma brevicauda Lutken, 1856 for the Brazilian coast. The specimens were collected, identified using specific literature and deposited in the Invertebrate Collection Paulo Young of the Federal University of Paraiba and in the Echinodermata Collection of Federal University of Sergipe, Brazil. The ophiuroid Ophioderma brevicauda Lutken, 1856 is recorded for the first time from the States of MaranhAo to Bahia, located at the two extremes of the Brazilian northeast region. We provide a description, notes of the habitat, distribution and ecology for the species based on these two localities. The known distribution of Ophioderma brevicauda Lutken, 1856 in the South Atlantic Ocean is expanded. More studies in poorly known environments of the northeastern coast should be encouraged.
