AB  - A new species of the genus <i>Capitella</i>, <i>Capitella iatapiuna</i> sp. nov., has been found in deep sea whale-fall samples, São Paulo Ridge-Southwest Atlantic. The new species is mainly characterized by a bluntly rounded prostomium and a very distinct peristomium forming a complete ring. Ribosomal 16S sequences were obtained and used for inter-specific comparisons. This species is herein described and compared to other species of the genus. Its ecological role in the whale-fall community is also discussed.
