New data of the geographical distribution of several species of teleost fishes assigned to the Brazilian coast, including some species never previously recorded, are presented. The serranids Pseudogramma gregoryi (recorded from Florida to Venezuela), and Plectranthias garrupellus (recorded from North Carolina to Caribbean Sea) were found, respectively, in coast of Ceará and in southeastern and southern Brazilian coast. The two sole records the family Caristiidae in Brazilian coast are mentioned and discussed, and are given herein the first accounts of the species Enchelycore carychroa (Muraenidae) and Chilomycterus antillarum (Diodontidae) from southeastern Brazilian coast, and of Neobythites brasiliensis (Bythitidae) from northeastern Brazilian coast. We have also discussed the northernmost occurrence of Calamus mu (Sparidae), a species formerly circumscribed to the region between Espírito Santo and São Paulo, and additional records of Bascanichthys paulensis (Ophichthidae), Nezumia aequalis (Macrouridae), Antigonia combatia (Caproidae) and Notolycodes schmitti (Zoarcidae).
