The following taxa are studied here: Microlinices latiusculus n. gen., n. sp., the type species, off Rio de Janeiro (RJ), 430–450 m (anatomy included); M. ibitingus n. gen., n. sp., off Espirito Santo (ES) and RJ, 640–1575 m (anatomy included); M. benthovus n. gen., n. sp., same distribution, 607–1575 m (anatomy included); M. ombratus n. gen., n. sp., off ES, 1500–1575 m; M. apiculus n. gen., n. sp., off ES, 367 m; M. gaiophanis n. gen., n. sp., off RJ, 830 m; Natica jukyriu...
