Knowledge of living crinoids from Brazil is chiefly restricted to the contributions of Dr Luis Roberto Tommasi between the decades of 1950 and 1970. Herein we present an updated catalogue of the crinoids occurring along the Brazilian coast, including data on synonyms, type localities, type material, geographical distribution, bathymetric ranges, and occurrences of species along the coast. The data is based on an extensive revision of the literature and on a survey of several databases. A total of 20 species were catalogued, of which two are endemic (Phrixometra longipinna var. brasiliensis and Thaumatometra minutissima). According to information from the literature, P. longipinna var. brasiliensis represents an undescribed taxon. Although Brazil supports the greatest number of crinoid species in the Southwestern Atlantic, its crinoid fauna remains understudied and likely underestimated. Research on crinoids remains a subject of great potential, not only for taxonomy but also for other areas of knowledge.
关于巴西现存海百合的知识主要局限于路易斯·罗伯托·托马西博士在20世纪50年代至70年代间的研究贡献。在此，我们提供了一份巴西沿海海百合的最新名录，包括同义词、模式产地、模式标本、地理分布、水深范围以及沿海物种出现情况等数据。这些数据基于对大量文献的广泛修订以及对多个数据库的调查。共记录了20个物种，其中两个是特有种（长羽海百合巴西变种和微小奇异海百合）。根据文献信息，长羽海百合巴西变种代表一个未描述的分类单元。尽管巴西拥有西南大西洋最多的海百合物种，但其海百合动物区系仍未得到充分研究，可能也被低估了。海百合研究不仅在分类学方面，而且在其他知识领域仍然是一个具有巨大潜力的课题。
