AB  - Sixty-five ostracode species belonging to 41 genera and 17 families were recorded in the outer shelf and upper slope off Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states, southernmost Brazil, between 100 and 586 m water depth interval. The ostracode occurrences are hypothesized to be influenced by both, the coastal waters and the Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW). The taxonomy of some species of <i>Bradleya</i> Hornibrook, 1952, <i>Legitimocythere</i> Coles & Whatley, 1989 and <i>Henryhowella</i> Puri, 1957 previously described in the same study area is revised. <i>Bradleya gaucha</i> sp. nov., <i>Legitimocythere megapotamica</i> sp. nov., <i>Apatihowella acelos</i> sp. nov., <i>Apatihowella capitulum</i> sp. nov., <i>Apatihowella besnardi</i> sp. nov., <i>Apatihowella convexa</i> sp. nov., and <i>Aversovalva tomcronini</i> sp. nov. are herein proposed. <i>Trachyleberis aorata</i> Bergue & Coimbra, 2008 is reassigned to the genus <i>Legitimocythere</i> and <i>Bradleya pseudonormani</i> Ramos et al., 2009 has its diagnosis emended. <i>Bythocypris praerenis</i> Brandão, 2008 is considered a junior synonym of <i>Bythocypris kyamos</i> Whatley et al., 1998a. <i>Apatihowella</i> Jellinek & Swanson, 2003 and <i>Legitimocythere</i> species have well-defined bathymetric distributions and are potential paleoceanographic markers for the Quaternary in the Southern Brazilian Margin.
