Sampling in the North Aegean Sea yielded nine species of the family Suberitidae, four of which, Pseudosuberites sulphureus, P. hyalinus, Suberiles ficus and S. syringella, are new for the fauna of the Eastern Mediterranean, and three more, S. carnosus, S. domuncula, and S. massa, are new records for the fauna of the Aegean Sea. For each of the nine species comments on the systematics, as well as geographical and ecological information is given. A redescription is given of the little known species Suberites massa Nardo. A review of the distribution of all Mediterranean Suberitidae is also presented, in which it is concluded that a further three species not represented in our material have been reported from the Eastern Mediterranean, viz. Laxosuberites... |

In this paper we describe Suberites diversicolor spec. nov. (Porifera: Demospongiae: Hadromerida: Suberitidae) from four enclosed anchialine lakes located in Indonesia and from a confined system in Singapore. Initially this species was thought to be specific to anchialine lakes, but further comparison to coastal areas indicated that it is more widespread in inshore systems. We have used morphological characters to distinguish this species and a molecular marker to confirm that all types are the same species. Suberites diversicolor spec. nov. is encrusting or massive with small protrusions or larger globular branches. The external colour can be olive-green, blue, purple, red-orange, or orange-yellow. Suberites diversicolor spec. nov. differs from known... |

The common NE Atlantic sponge species hitherto known under the name Prosuberites epiphytum (Lamarck, 1814), is differentiated from the South Australian type and other regional specimens. Spicule size and form, although generally similar, are subtly different. Australian P. epiphytum apparently persistently overgrow the thallus of algae, possibly as part of a symbiotic association, and this is not known for European specimens. In view of these facts and taking into account the disjunct distribution, it is proposed to assign the NE Atlantic populations to a new species. The genus Prosuberites has been restricted recently to species with single long tylostyles with heads embedded in a basal spongin plate, and both P. epiphytum and the new species do not... |
