Type locality. Marechal Deodoro, AL, Brazil .

Material examined. CNPGG-2192, Cayo Arcas reef (20.20512°N, - 91.96305°W), 0.5 m depth, coll. Diana Ugalde, 19 August 2018 GoogleMaps , CNPGG-2477, Yucalpeten lagoon (21.2630°N, 89.7062°W), 0.5 m depth, coll. Patricia Gómez, 17 July 2017 GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Mexico ( De la Cruz-Francisco & Gónzalez-Gónzalez 2016; current records), Brazil ( Bispo et al. 2016).

Remarks. Haliclona (R.) chlorilla is a shallow species inhabiting tyde pools, seagrasses or macroalgae and it is characterized by a repent morphology of delicate branches in dark green or black live color, and absence of any microscleres ( Bispo et al. 2016). Haliclona (R.) chlorilla has been described for the Northeast of Brazil ( Bispo et al. 2016). Recently, De la Cruz-Francisco & González-González (2016) recorded the species at the Lobos-Tuxpan reef system in the SGoM, extending the distribution of the species. Our record further extends the distribution of Haliclona (R.) chlorilla to the Campeche Bank in the SGoM.
