Abstract

Procellaria cinerea Gmelin, 1789 and Pachyptila vittata (Forster, 1977) are considered vagrants in Brazil, with very few documented records in the country. Here, we present the ﬁrst documented records of these species from the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. Morphometrics, post-mortem examinations, and a genetic analysis allowed us to identify the species, reproductive status, cause of death, and sex of the specimens.
