      Axiidea housed in the collection of the Museu de Oceanografia Prof. Petrônio Alves Coelho, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (MOUFPE) were studied. This collection contains 66% of the total diversity of axiideans recorded from the continental shelf of the Brazilian coast. The species are listed by family and genus as follows: Axiidea: Axiidae (Axiopsis, Axiorygma, Calaxius, Coralaxius, Manaxius, Paraxiopsis), Callianassidae (Cheramoides), Callichiridae (Callichirus, Corallianassa, Lepidophthalmus, Neocallichirus), Ctenochelidae (Ctenocheles, Ctenocheloides, Dawsonius, Gourretia), Micheleidae (Marcusiaxius, Meticonaxius). Details on the biology and taxonomy of some of these species are given. In addition, certain poorly documented species are now better understood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
