| Abstract |
The morphology and systematic relationships of 60 species of tetractinomorph sponges from the New Zealand region are discussed. Of these species (and those of the Lithistida which have been included for convenience) only 26 were formerly known from the New Zealand region. Twelve new species are described. It should be expected that with future extended collecting a substantial further increase in the number of species may result. |
