| Abstract: | Seven species of the cheilostome bryozoan genus Bugula Oken, 1815 have been recorded to it from Brazil. However, this genus is almost unknown in Rio de Janeiro State where only one species has hitherto been recorded, Bugula neritina (Linnaeus, 1758). In this study we investigate the taxonomy and distribution of Bugula in three areas of Rio de Janeiro State: Arraial do Cabo, Guanabara Bay and Sepetiba Bay. Five species of Bugula were identified, including the previously recorded Bugula neritina and four new to the state: B. dentata (Lamouroux, 1816), B. uniserialis Hincks, 1884, B. carvalhoi Marcus, 1949, and B. stolonifera lyland,1960. Bugula dentata is also a new record for Brazil. Four of the five species are cosmopolitan or have disjunct distributions. These are considered to be cryptogenic for Rio de Janeiro State. The fifth species, B. carvalhoi, is endemic to southeastern Brazil. |
