ABSTRACT
Three new species of the genus Cleantiodes are described from Tamandaré Bay, Pernambuco, Brazil. They were collected with light traps near a reef area of the Marine Protected Area ‘Costa dos Corais’. Cleantioides garciachartoni sp. nov., C. pandemus sp. nov. and C. tamandarensis sp. nov. are distinguished from their congeners mainly by the shape of the pleotelson and the ornamentation of the pereopods. The genus Cleantioides is recorded for the first time from the south-western Atlantic, while the family Holognathidae is recorded for the first time from the Brazilian coast.
