A comprehensive revision of literature dealing with Brazilian marine sponges has been undertaken. One hundred and ten sponges were found to occur deeper than 100 m, and are here considered deep-sea sponges. These species were reported upon in 18 papers, starting from Polejaeff (1884) on the ‘Keratosa’ collected by the H.M.S. ‘Challenger’. For each deep-sea species, its distribution in terms of Brazilian states off which it has been found, its depth range, original literature and expedition, are given.
