Abstract

One specimen of the Atlantic polychaete Hydroides similoides is here reported as the first record for Brazil. After being first described from the Caribbean region (Puerto Rico—Venezuela), the range of distribution of this species is now extended to the Picãozinho reefs, State of Paraíba, Brazil (south-western Atlantic).
