A new species in the family Irciniidae (demospongiae: Dictyoceratida) from Korea

Sponges of the family Irciniidae are poorly known in Korean waters. This paper describes a new species of new genus, Bergquistia coreana n. sp. in the family Irciniidae (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida) from Jejudo Island, Korea from 1998 to 1999. Bergquistia n. gen. is characterized by extremely simple fasciculated and uncored primary fibres. However, in the choano‐somal region, primary fibres are made of wider clear web. Secondary fibres form a very thin regular uncored network. The sponge surface has thick and regular conules. The colour is beige throughout the sponge, and the texture is slightly hard and compressible. Thickness of filament is variable.
