| Abstract: | This paper expands the known geographic distribution of Corvospongilla seckti Bonetto and Ezcurra de Drago, 1966 to another two Brazilian hydrographic basins, the East Atlantic and São Francisco basins. Simultaneously, it reassesses the status of C. seckti and Corvospongilla volkmeri De Rosa Barbosa, 1988. Re-examination of the holotype of C. volkmeri revealed no remarkable diagnostic features to differentiate it from C. seckti, given our present knowledge on the variability of the latter. Accordingly, C. volkmeri is considered a junior synonym of C. seckti. |
