Title

Two new species of Dendroxea Griessinger (Porifera: Demospongiae) from the Mediterranean Sea

Abstract

Two new species of Porifera, Dendroxea pseudodidiscoides (Tremiti Archipelago, Adriatic Sea) and D. adumbrata (Ustica Island, Tyrrhenian Sea), are described. They show a close affinity with the Atlanto-Mediterranean species D. lenis (Topsent, 1892), even though they are both characterized by the occurrence of a peculiar spicular type.
