Abstract

Two new species of the genus Luffariella (Dictyoceratida: Thorectidae), L. tubula n. sp. and L. koreana n. sp. were collected from Jeju-do, Korea. These species differ significantly from the previously reported five species in terms of shape and skeletal structure. L. tubula n. sp. has two categories in thickness of secondary fibres which were different from other species. L. koreana n. sp. is very similar to L. variabilis from Tahiti in skeletal structure, but differs in sponge shape with irregular branching and indistinct surface conules. Primary fibres of the two new species are separated from secondary and tertiary fibres.
