Based on specimens deposited in the scientific collections first occurrences of the azooxanthellate scleractinians Polycyathus senegalensis and Eguchipsammia cornucopia from Brazilian waters are reported. In addition, latitudinal and/or bathymetric range extensions are reported for Caryophyllia ambrosia caribbeana, Caryophyllia antillarum, Premocyathus cornuformis, Deltocyathus calcar, Paracyathus pulchellus, Flabellum apertum, Sphenotrochus auritus, Madracis asperula and Astrangia solitaria.

The family Caryophylliidae comprises the highest diversity of hard corals (Order Scleractinia), represented by more than 300 species around the world. More than 90% are non-symbiotic species (azooxanthellate), whereas less than 30 species are symbiotic (zooxanthellate) or facultative (apozooxanthellate) species. This paper includes 35 species (20 genera) of caryophylliids present in soft and hard bottoms of Colombian seas, which have been mainly collected through INVEMAR expeditions (between 10 and 500 m depth) during the last 10 years. Two new species are described, Stephanocyathus isabellae and Heterocyathus antoniae, the latter belonging to a genus previously known only from the Indian and Pacific oceans.

“…The number of azooxanthellate Scleractinia (ahermatypes) known from the Gulf has risen from 36 (Cairns, 1977), to 58 (Viada and Cairns, 1987), to 63 (this paper). By including the 42 species of zooxan· thellate (hermatypic) Scleractinia known from the Gulf (Grimm and Hopkins, 1977;Zlatarski and Estalella, 1982;Castaiiares 1 and Soto, 1982;Rezak, et al, 1985;Tun· nell, 1989), a total of 105 scleractinian species is now recorded from the Gulf of Mexico.…”
