Abstract

A new species of the genus Tethya (Demospongiae: Hadromerida: Tethyidae), Tethya songakensis, is collected from Jeju Island, Korea, by scuba diving. This new species is characterized by oxyasters, slender tylasters and spherasters with frequently branched ray. Tethya songakensis n. sp. is similar to T. simi Sara and Bavestrello, 2000 in megascleres and megasters, but it can be clearly distinguished with the latter by the shape of microasters.

한국 제주도에서 scuba 다이빙을 이용하여 채집한 해면동물을 동정$\cdot$분류한 결과 송악딸기해면 (Tethya songakensis)이 신종으로 밝혀졌다. 본 종은 간상 성체, 가는 아령성상체 및 가지 끝이 갈라진 구상성체에 의해 특징지어진다. 많은 구상성체 가지의 끝은 갈라졌다. 송악딸기해면은 주대골편과 거대성체가 T. simi Sara and Bavestrello, 2000과 유사하지만 미소성체의 모양에 의해 분명히 구분된다.
