Three new occurrences of Sergestidae (Dendrobranchiata) for the Southwestern Atlantic slope (13°-22°S)

The Family Sergestidae includes 97 species and six genera. Sergestes H. Milne Edwards, 1830, and Sergia Stimpson, 1860, occur only in the deep sea. The genus Sergestes is represented in Brazilian waters by four species: Sergestes armatus Kroyer, 1855; S. atlanticus H. Milne Edwards, 1830; S. arachnipodus (Cocco, 1832); and S. edwardsii Kroyer, 1855. The genus Sergia is represented by two species: Sergia prehensilis (Bate, 1888) and S. regalis (Gordon, 1839). Three new occurrences of Sergestidae were recorded: Sergestes paraseminudus Crosnier and Forest, 1973; Sergia burukovskii Vereshchaka, 2000; and S. tenuiremis (Kroyer, 1855). The material examined was collected by the REVIZEE Program from the central Brazilian coast in depths from 200 to 2200 m. This paper presents the redescription of these species and figure them.
