This paper reports the occurrence of Aphrogenia alba in Potiguar Basin, northeastern Brazil. The
specimen was sampled at a depth of 180 m off the Rio Grande do Norte coast in the muddy bottom. This new
record extends, after 37 years, the known geographic distribution of the species in the Brazilian coast, which
had previously been recorded between Rio de Janeiro (Cabo de São Tomé and Ilha Grande) and Rio Grande do
Sul.
