We present a photometric study of early-type dwarf galaxies located in the outer regions of the Antlia cluster. The integrated color-magnitude (CMR) and luminosity-mean surface brightness (LSBR) relations} that they follow are compared to the ones obtained at the cluster center by Smith Castelli et al. (2008). They all share the same CMR, ranging from the two central giant ellipticals NGC 3258 and NGC 3268 at the bright end down to the faintest dwarfs. The surface brightness profiles of a subsample of dwarfs are fitted with Sérsic models and the resulting parameters and scaling relations are also analyzed.spacebp The results presented here correspond to the first stages of J.P. Calderon PhD Thesis.
