West Atlantic Leuconidae gap Until the present study, there were no proper taxonomic records of family Leuconidae for the Brazilian coast. They appear only in ecological studies, where the specimens were identified only at genus level (Leucon and Eudorella) or only into family (Leuconidae A and Leuconidae B) (Băcescu & Petrescu 1991; Dos Santos & Pires-Vanin 1999; Cristales & Pires-Vanin 2014). Leuconids occur in all oceans (Watling & Gerken 2023) and are also commonly found in the deep-sea zone (> 200 m) (Heard et al. 2007). Records from the NW Atlantic are from Guiana-Suriname Basin to Greenland coast (Bishop 1981a; 1981b; 1982a; Hansen 1920; Heard et al. 2007; Petrescu & Heard 2010) and in SW Atlantic are restricted to the Argentinian and Uruguayan coast (Petrescu 1991; 1994). With the present study new records of the family go further north in the Brazilian coast until 18°S (Espírito Santo state) and south until 27°S (Paraná state), filling the gap in this area.
