The distribution limits in the Atlantic of Callorhinchus callorynchus (Callorhinchidae) and Odontesthes argentinensis (Atherinopsidae) are extended northwards to 22° 22′ S and 22° 31′ S, respectively, whereas that of Lile piquitinga (Clupeidae) is extended southwards to 22° 22′ S. Their occurrence in the north of Rio de Janeiro State is discussed. Remarks on the osteology of O. argentinensis , and morphometric and meristic data of L. piquitinga , are also provided.
