| Abstract |
New Zealand sponges belonging to the orders Haplosclerida and Nepheliospongida are described and discussed with respect to their systematic and ecological relationships. Forty-one species belonging to eight genera of Haplosclerida are described, of which twelve are new; of eight species belonging to four genera of Nepheliospongida, two are new. Particular attention is directed toward evaluating recent theories on the classification of the Haplosclerida, in particular the status of the genera Haliclona and Reniera and the importance of dermal morphology in the generic classification of the Callyspongiidae. |
