The study of the subfamily Cytheropterinae from the southern Brazilian continental shelf reveals the presence of four genera and nine species, including two newly described (Cytheropteron sudatlanticum sp. nov., Loxoreticulatum pulchrum sp. nov.) and two left in open nomenclature (Cytheropteron sp. and Kangarina sp.). All of these species are restricted to the southern part of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean and do not extend beyond the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Three of these species (Oculocytheropteron micropunctatum, O. reticulatum, O. macropunctatum) extend beyond the southern limit of the Brazilian Province (36°S), while the others occur inside the limits of the Brazilian Province (36°S–22/21°S). The genus Loxoreticulatum, a well-known ostracod taxon from the Antarctic Peninsula, southern Argentina and Falkland (= Malvinas) Islands, is herein reported for the first time from offshore Brazil.
