Abstract

Metamysidopsis macaensis is reported for the first time in the south of Brazil, and a comparative analysis of morphological characteristics between the original description of the species and a female described here is made. The occurrence of the species in the south of Brazil and exclusively in the Brazilian shelf suggests this species has a wide distribution along the Brazilian shelf. The morphological differences between the holotype and the female described here are significant and suggest that the original description was probably made based on an immature female.
