摘要：For the entire Brazilian coast, there are 22 published records of scyphozoans. On the other hand, only 35 species of
cubozoans were described worldwide, four of them reported for the Brazilian coast. However, little is known about the
species of cubozoans and scyphozoans in the Northeastern states of Brazil. The aim of this study was to perform a
survey of the jellyfish (Cnidaria: Cubozoa and Scyphozoa) on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte state, Northeast of
Brazil. Specimens were collected using trawl net on beaches in the counties of Natal (in 2003) and Tibaú (in 2004). For
the Rio Grande do Norte coast there were few records of large jellyfish, and new records of the following cubozoan and
scyphozoan species were verified: Chiropsalmus quadrumanus; Chrysaora lactea; Lychnorhiza lucerna and
Stomolophus meleagris. The studied species had their distributions expanded in the coast to the State of Rio Grande do
Norte.
