Spheniscidae

Aptenodytes patagonicus (VAG) : occurs on the Malvinas / Falklands and South Georgia, from Marion Island east to Macquarie ( Martínez, 1992). The subspecies A. p. patagonicus breeds on the Malvinas /Falklands and South Georgia, and it is considered vagrant in Brazil, where there are records for RJ and RS ( Mohr, 2004; Barquete et al., 2006).

Eudyptes chrysolophus (VAG) : occurs on the South Atlantic and South Indian oceans, mainly on subantarctic islands, but it also breeds in small numbers south of the Antarctica Peninsula ( Martínez, 1992; Grantsau, 2010). There are occasional records in southern Brazil in the mouth of the Chuí River/RS in July 1964 that were associated with the collection of a voucher specimen ( Belton, 1984; MZUSP 60062).

Eudyptes chrysocome (VAG) : occurs in Cape Horn, Malvinas /Falklands, Prince Edward Island to the Antipodes in the South Atlantic Ocean (from Tristan da Cunha to Gough Islands), and in the South Indian Ocean (in St. Paul and Amsterdam Islands) ( Martínez, 1992). The subspecies E. c. chrysocome breeds in Tierra del Fuego and adjacent islands (Ildefonso and Diego Ramírez), and in Malvinas /Falklands. In Brazil, it is considered vagrant and occurs occasionally in RS ( Belton, 1994; Barquete et al., 2006) with one specimen collected in July (MNRJ 33381).
