%X the genus mesophyllum me. lemoine includes around 147 species, of which only three have been referred to the brazilian coast. mesophyllum erubescens was originally described from fernando de noronha archipelago, brazil (type locality). here we present the first detailed description of m. erubescens based on brazilian material. samplings were made through scuba diving at the biological marine reserve of arvoredo island, santa catarina. the relations of m. erubescens with other similar species, especially from the american atlantic studied by w.r. taylor are discussed.
