Echinodermata, Ophiuroidea, <i>Gorgonocephalus</i> Leach, 1815: First report of the genus for the Brazilian continental margin

The Gorgonocephalidae includes 38 genera, five of them reported for Brazilian waters. Gorgonocephalus chilensishas a wide distribution throughout Antartica and Subantartican regions and its northern limit was restricted to the coast ofUruguay. This work aims to report the first occurrence of the Gor...
