The southern boundaries of seven species of Brazilian coast sponges were enlarged. Two of them represent new records: Chalinula zeae de Weerdt, 2000 e Terpios manglaris Rützler & Smith, 1993 and five were registered for the first time from the state of Santa Catarina: Callyspongia (Toxochalina) pseudotoxa Muricy & Ribeiro, 1999; Mycale (Carmia) magnirhaphidifera van Soest, 1984; Hymeniacidon heliophila Parker, 1910; Monanchora arbuscula (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) and Scopalina ruetzleri (Wiedenmayer, 1977). The taxonomic description of species is also provided and the three latter were described for the first time from the Brazilian coast, since other authors only cited it.
