Herein we provide a taxonomic revision of
Phyllodoce species from Brazil, describing 10 new species in addition to two new records,
Phyllodoce longipes Kinberg, 1866 and
Phyllodoce cf.
madeirensis Langerhans, 1880.
Phyllodoce sp. A. and
Phyllodoce sp. B. are probably new but the number and condition of available specimens do not provide adequate and reliable diagnostic features for a formal description. These species have been collected in diverse marine and estuarine environments from shallow estuarine bottoms to continental shelf and slope sediments and submarine canyons from off southern and southeastern Brazil. A key to the fourteen species of
Phyllodoce occurring in Brazil is also given.
