A new species of Pseudobranchiomma Jones, 1962 is described from a collection of polychaetes associated with stony coral on the coast of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. Pseudobranchiomma minima sp. n. differs from the type species P. emersoni Jones and from most other Pseudobranchiomma species in lacking serrations along the outer surface of the crown radioles. Only one other recorded fairly small species, Pseudobranchiomma punctata (Treadwell, 1906, new combination), lacks such serrations and is redescribed here. The two species differ mainly in the configurations of the collars and chaetae. This genus has characters more in common with Bispira than with Branchiomma.
