Abstract
A new species, Ruffojassa petronioi sp. nov., is described from southern Brazilian coast. The new species was collected at 56 m depth at the coordinates 21º42'S / 40º15'W with a mini biological trawl aboard of R.V. Prof.W.Besnard. In this paper we recorded the genus for the first time from Brazilian waters.
