Specimens of Bentharca asperula (Dall, 1881) were obtained from deep waters of the coasts of the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo States, and their shells described, illustrated and compared with descriptions and illustrations obtained from the literature. This species has a small strongly inequilateral shell, trapezoidal in outline and expanded ventro-posteriorly; their umbos are placed at about 1/3 of the anterior length of their straight hinge line. The external sculpture consists of irregular spaced concentric ridges, intercepted by fine radiating striae; the periostracum is hairy, forming a cover as a thatch. Hinge teeth are small, disposed in two series interrupted by the ligament. With this finding of living specimens from the Bacia de Campos, the distribution of B. asperula can now be extended in the Brazilian coast, confirming its wide spread in the Atlantic Ocean.

Although there are six species of Catenicellidae recorded in Brazil, the three Catenicella species described here are the first mention of the genus in the state of Rio de Janeiro, enlarging their distribution along the Brazilian coast. Previously, C. contei was recorded in Pernambuco and São Paulo, while C. elegans was recorded in the states of Alagoas and São Paulo. The recent identification of these species in the state of Rio de Janeiro suggests two possibilities: it is difficult to find them due to small size and cryptic habitat, and/or they represent introduced species.

Three New Species

A consultation of the original descriptions of the genera of Scissurellidae led the author to conclude that the valid names for the genera of this family are: Scissurella d'Orbigny, 1823 (redescription by Sowerby, 1824), Anatoma Woodward, 1859, Inoisura Hedley, 1904, Scissurona Iredale, 1924, Sinezona Finlay, 1927. Scissurella and Anatoma are cosmopolites, the first generally living in shallow waters, associated to sea-weeds, while the second is found in deep waters. The three last genera are restricted to Australasia. Three new species are described from the Brazilian coast: Soissu rella alexandrei, Scissurella eleotilis and Scissurella morretesi. The internal anatomy of S. alexandrei is described. These three new species have been found in littoral shallow waters, the two first on the northeast Brazilian coast, the third on the coast of the State of São Paulo. The fourth known species of Scissurellidae from Brazil, Anatoma aedonia (Watson, 1886), was dredged by H.M.S, "Challenger", in 1873, off Pernambuco, 350 fm (640 m).

Abstract The southeastern Brazilian coast is a vulnerable region to the development of severe storms, mainly caused by the passage of cold fronts and extratropical cyclones. In the last decades, there has been an increase in the occurrence of subtropical cyclones. This study investigates trends and climatic variations, analyzing surface meteoceanographic series at six grid points from the reanalysis databases of ERA-Interim and ERA5 (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts-ECMWF) from 1979 to 2018 over the ocean region bounded, approximately, at 18°S, 25°S and 37ºW, 45ºW (between the states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo). Non-parametric statistical tests and the generalized extreme value distribution are employed for annual, seasonal and daily maxima/minima. The numbers of occurrence of extreme values, as well as the extremal index are also estimated in order to better understand the behavior of extremes. Annual maximum sea-surface temperature anomalies of the ERA-Interim databases show very low negative values, mainly at the beginning of measurements (between 1979 and 1982), leading to high positive trend values. The results are compared to the updated data from ERA5 which have anomalies that are more homogeneous with positive trends but without statistical significance. The other meteorological series of the ERA-Interim does not present discrepancies. Only the maximum anomalies of air temperature have significant annual and seasonal positive trends at grid points near the coast of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Despite that the analyses for pressure and wind speed anomalies do not indicate significant trends, they present increases in the interdecadal pattern of the numbers of occurrence of extreme percentiles for almost every grid point. Return levels for 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 years are estimated at each grid point and many maximum/minimum peaks are close to the return levels for 100-year return periods. The extremal index suggests average cluster sizes associated with no predominance of clustering for the extreme percentiles, which represents weak dependence between the exceedances. These results characterize some independence between extreme meteorological events such as the event that has been taking place in the region. The occurrence of maximum daily wind speed peaks calculated in austral spring, whose values exceeded the previous ones, is identified at three grid points near the southeast Brazilian coast, caused by the passage of the subtropical cyclone “Deni,” which occurred in November 2016.
