The Indo-Pacific mud sleeper Butis koilomatodon (Eleotridae) is recorded for the first time in the south-western Atlantic Ocean, based on 23 specimens caught at seven localities along the northern, north-eastern, eastern and south-eastern Brazilian coast. The occurrence of males and females in different ontogenetic stages indicates that this exotic mud sleeper breeds there. This invasive species has the potential to compete for food and microhabitat with several native gobies and an endemic blenny that dwell in estuaries and mangroves, besides preying on native fishes and crustaceans.
印度洋-太平洋泥睡鲨（ Eleotridae 科）首次在西南大西洋被记录到，这是基于在巴西北部、东北部、东部和东南部沿海的七个地点捕获的 23 个标本。雌雄个体处于不同的个体发育阶段表明这种外来泥睡鲨在那里繁殖。这种入侵物种有可能与生活在河口和红树林中的几种本地虾虎鱼和特有鳚竞争食物和微生境，此外还捕食本地鱼类和甲壳类动物。
