Diomedeidae

Phoebetria fusca (VAG) : occurs on the South Atlantic and South Indian oceans. It breeds from Tristan da Cunha and Gough Islands east to Kerguelen, Amsterdam and St. Paul Islands ( Carboneras, 1992; Grantsau, 2010). In the Brazilian coast, there are records for RS ( Bencke, 2001), SP ( Olmos et al., 1995; MZUSP 37152 [SP, 1954, August]), RJ (MNRJ A1749 [RJ, 1994, December] and Bahia (BA) ( Lima et al., 2004c).

Phoebetria palpebrata (VAG) : has a circumpolar occurrence in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere, and breeds from South Georgia Island east to Campbell Island and the Antipodes ( Carboneras, 1992; Grantsau, 2010). On the Brazilian coast, there are records for RS ( Belton, 1994; Bencke et al., 2010), SC ( Roos & Piacentini, 2003; MZUSP 75196 [SC, 2001, November]), RJ ( Corrêa & Pereira, 2016) and BA ( Sampaio & Castro, 1998; MZUSP 102477 [BA, 1997, August]). It is considered vagrant in Brazil and occurs in really small numbers, representing a marginal population.

Thalassarche chrysostoma (VAG) : has a circumpolar distribution in the southern seas and breeds from Cape Horn east to Campbell Island ( Carboneras, 1992; Grantsau, 2010). It disperses widely throughout the Southern Hemisphere between 65°S and 35°S, but it can reach 15°S in the region of the Humboldt Current ( Carboneras, 1992). There are few confirmed records for Brazil: due to the constant confusion with the more abundant T.chlororhynchos , only the specimens of T.chrysostoma that have been collected in SP ( Olmos et al., 1995; MZUSP) and RJ ( Teixeira et al., 1985; MNRJ) were considered confirmed records of the species in the country ( Bencke et al., 2010).
