	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.},

	abstract = {Membraniporopsis tubigerum (Osburn, 1940) (Cheilostomata) is added to the list of known invasive bryozoans. Originally described from Puerto Rico, Texas, and Florida, it has been found at several localities in southern Brazil since October 1997 and in Kaipara Harbour, New Zealand since December 2001. At the latter location, its irruption in the austral summer-autumn of 2001-02 resulted in such massive numbers of erect colony fragments as to clog set nets for flounder and wash up on local beaches in stinking 20-cm-thick drifts. Since then, its frequency of occurrence has declined and it was not definitely seen in the harbor in 2003 and 2004. Neither the manner of reproduction nor agency of dispersal is known. It is even possible that the original description may have been based on invasive material inasmuch as the only certain congeners, Membraniporopsis bifloris (Wang and Tung, 1976) and Membraniporopsis serrilamelloides (Liu and Li, 1987) are east Asian species. New characters are identified that are diagnostic of the genus Membraniporopsis, which is provisionally included in the Flustridae in the absence of knowledge about larval type. A full redescription of M. tubigera is provided, along with information on skeletal mineralogy; it is noted that M. tubigera has exceptionally high-magnesium calcite.},

Frontal budding in P. spathata sp. nov. produces some unusual skeletal features which are briefly described. These new Brazilian records enlarge the geographic distribution of both genera (Parkermavella is a new record for the Atlantic Ocean and Hippomonavella for Brazil) and add to the generic and specific diversity of bryozoans known from Brazil and Rio de Janeiro, increasing the latter from 60 to 62 species.},

	abstract = {Five species of Beania Johnston, 1840 (Bryozoa: Flustrina) were previously reported from Brazil, but only one, identified incorrectly in the literature as B. intermedia (Hincks, 1881), was reported from Rio de Janeiro State. In this study, we describe three species of Beania from Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro State: Beania klugei Cook, 1968 (=B. intermedia sensu Marcus, 1937), Beania mirabilis Johnston, 1840, and Beania maxilladentata sp.nov. Beania mirabilis is a new record for Rio de Janeiro State. It is characterized by a long basal cauda, approximately as long as the rest of the autozooid, two pairs of oral spines, and usually five pairs of short marginal spines overarching the frontal membrane. Beania klugei is characterized by the absence of both oral and marginal spines, and by its large autozooids and small avicularia. Beania maxilladentata sp.nov. has autozooids with up to three pairs of marginal spines directed outwards; the distal end of the autozooid never overlaps the proximal end of the next zooid in series; and the avicularia are as long as wide, with mandibles with accessory tips. Our study raises the number of species of Beania known in Rio de Janeiro State from one to three, and along the Brazilian coast from five to six.},
