	abstract = {Intertidal communities from rocky shores of the southwestern Atlantic are dominated by two small-sized mussels of the genus Brachidontes, B. rodriguezii (d{\textquoteright}Orbigny, 1846) and B. purpuratus (Lamarck, 1819). Their generic placement, separation of specimens based on external conchological characters and geographic distribution are problematic. We conducted a comparative study based on extensive collections and observations at 14 sites along the coasts of the southwestern Atlantic, complemented by the study of materials from museum collections. Well-preserved specimens of the two species are distinguishable on the basis of shell characters, some of them previously ignored, over their combined latitudinal range.},
