The REVIZEE (Survey of the live resources from the Economic Exclusive Zone) Program collected 158 benthic samples, in Brazilian continental shelf and slope, in latitudes ranging from 13 o 00´S to 22 o 30´S, and depths ranging from 50 to 500m. In these samples, ten caridean species, distributed in six families were identified: Latreutes fucorum (Fabricius, 1798), Trachycaris restricta (A. Milne Edwards, 1878) (Hippolytidae); Anchistioides antiguensis (Schmitt, 1924) (Anchistioitidae); Brachycarpus biunguiculatus (Lucas, 1849), Leander tenuicornis (Say, 1818) (Palaemonidae, subfamily Palaemoninae); Periclimenaeus bermudensis (Armstrong, 1940), Pontonia manningi Fransen, 2000 (Palaemonidae, subfamily Pontoniinae); Leptochela serratorbita Bate, 1888 (Pasiphaeidae); Processa brasiliensis Christoffersen, 1979 (Processidae) and Pseudocheles chacei Kensley, 1983 (Bresiliidae). Nine of these species are herein redescribed and compared with data from the literature. Of these, Pseudocheles chacei is a new record for the Brazilian coast. Anchistioides antiguensis, P. manningi, L. serratorbita and P. brasiliensis had their latitudinal distribution expanded to the study area.
