Redescribes Breviturma pusilla, first recorded in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, highlighting unique features.
Abstract Breviturma pusilla is redescribed and illustrated based on two specimens collected from the remote oceanic island of Trindade Island (Brazil). The species is distinguished from its congeners primarily by the presence of fragile, hollow and non-smooth arm spines. This constitutes the first record of the genus Breviturma and B. pusilla from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. A key to the species of Breviturma is also provided. The present record of B. pusilla from Trindade is consistent with the Indo-Pacific component of the island’s fauna.
