The genus Jaspis comprises 32 valid species, six of which were previously recorded from the Atlantic Ocean. Two species have already been recorded from the Brazilian coast: J. johnstonii and J. salvadori (Rio Grande do Sul and Espírito Santo States respectively). Their respective type specimens, deposited at Muséum National d'Historie Naturelle, Paris (Jaspis salvadori, holotype) and at Universalmuseum Joanneum, Zoology Center of Natural History, Austria (Jaspis johnstonii, syntype) were reexamined, but due to differences in spicule composition these records are considered to be invalid. The present paper describes five new species of Jaspis collected on the Brazilian coast (Jaspis atolensis sp. nov., J. iacuitaster sp. nov., J. corticomicroxea sp. nov., J. variaster sp. nov. and J. gigoxea sp. nov.) bringing the total number of species worldwide to 36, all of which were compared in tabular format. The type species, Jaspis johnstonii, was also redescribed.
雅斯皮斯属包含32个有效物种，其中6个先前记录于大西洋。巴西海岸已记录到两个物种：约翰斯顿雅斯皮斯和萨尔瓦多雅斯皮斯（分别来自南里奥格兰德州和圣埃斯皮里图州）。它们各自的模式标本分别保存在巴黎的国家自然历史博物馆（萨尔瓦多雅斯皮斯，主模式标本）和奥地利自然历史动物学中心的约翰内姆通用博物馆（约翰斯顿雅斯皮斯，同模式标本），经重新检查，由于骨针组成的差异，这些记录被认为无效。本文描述了在巴西海岸采集到的5个雅斯皮斯新物种（阿托拉雅斯皮斯新种、伊库伊塔斯雅斯皮斯新种、皮质微骨针雅斯皮斯新种、变异雅斯皮斯新种和巨骨针雅斯皮斯新种），使全球物种总数达到36个，并以表格形式对所有物种进行了比较。模式种约翰斯顿雅斯皮斯也进行了重新描述。
