With the growing ornithological research in Santa Catarina, many localities have already acquired good knowledge about their avifauna, but, some groups of birds are still sub-sampled in most of these ornithological studies. This sub-sampling of certain avian groups, such as the nocturnal (Strigiformes and Caprimulgiformes), may prejudice the evaluation of occurrence status and population state of these species. Thus, we present records of seven Strigiformes species (Megascops sanctaecatarinae, Pulsatrix koeniswaldiana, Strix hylophila, S. virgata, Glaucidium minutissimum, G. brasilianum and Asio stygius) and six Caprimulgiformes (Nyctibius griseus, Podager nacunda, Nyctidromus albicollis, Caprimulgus sericocaudatus, C. longirostris and Macropsalis forcipata) observed in our studies, and all the species presented here were recorded in at least one unprecedented location in Santa Catarina.
