Abstract

Fritillaria venusta Lohmann, 1896 was collected in South Brazil Bight in summer, autumn and spring 1976 and summer 1993 for the first time. This species occurred in 13 of 269 sampling stations, from 68 m to 200 m in depth and water temperatures between 13 °C and 26 °C. Seasonal out of size variations of F. venusta were observed, being adults significantly larger in summer 1993.
