Abstract

Currently, 15 species of the genus Campylaspis, collected between 40 and 4,680 m depth, are known from Brazil. In the present study, two additional species collected from Campos Basin, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo States, between 393 and 733 m depth, are described. An updated list of all the Campylaspis species reported from Brazil along with an identification key for the deep-sea species are presented.
