The genus Axianassa Schmitt, 1924 from the family Laomediidae is represented by six species along the Western Atlantic: Axianassa intermedia Schmitt occur in Curacao, Lesser Antilles and Aruba; A. mineri Boone, 1931 in Panama and Mexico Gulf; A. arenaria Kensley & Heard, 1990 in the Mexico Gulf; A. canalis Kensley & Heard, 1990 in the Panama channel; A. jamaicense Kensley & Heard, 1990 in Jamaica and A. australis Rodrigues & Shimizu, 1992 in Brazil. Along the Brazilian coast, this genus has been formerly found in the states of Pernambuco, Bahia (Valenca) and Sao Paulo (Sao Sebastiao). According to STRASSER & FELDER (2005), this species is also recorded in southern Texas, USA. Based on the present work, the geographic distribution of A. australis is extended up to the state of Parana, southern coast of Brazil.
