| Summary: | Caulophryne sp. (Figs. 1J, 5) Diagnosis. Same as for genus. Geographical distribution. Species of Caulophryne have been reported from the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans between approximately 65ºN and 50ºS (Pietsch, 2009). Three of the four currently recognized species of the genus are known from the Atlantic Ocean: Caulophryne jordani Goode & Bean, 1896, known from the North Atlantic up to about 5ºN; Caulophryne pelagica (Brauer, 1902), recorded in the Atlantic at a single locality off Cape Verde Islands; and Caulophryne polynema Regan, 1930, recorded in the North and South Atlantic to 28ºS off Africa, with no records in the western South Atlantic (Pietsch, 1979, 2009). The extremely small specimen of Caulophryne sp. reported here was collected off Rio Grande do Norte State, between depths of 35 and 100 m, and represents the first record of the genus in Brazilian waters and in the western South Atlantic (Fig. 5). Material examined. NPM 3835, 1, 6 mm SL (Fig. 1J), RV Antea , sta. AB1/23, 5°08’36.7”S 34°42’48.5”W to 5°08’02.8”S 34°44’40.4”W, 35–100 m, 9 Oct 2015, 10:35–11:20 h.
