The family Polynoidae includes a group of scale worms which is abundant in several
marine environments, and many members are associated with other invertebrates. The genus
Harmothoe is one of the largest in number of species within the polynoids, with more than 150
described species. We summarize in a checklist information relative to 23 nominal species of
Harmothoe from South America, with valid names, synonyms and original citations, discuss
possible taxonomic problems, and provide illustrations of specimens from the northeastern coast
of Brazil. Redescriptions of two species based on new specimens collected along the littoral of
the State of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, are included. Harmotthoe fuscapinae and
Harmothoe lanceocirrata are reported for the first time for Brazilian waters.
