Two new species of <i>Dendroxea</i> Griessinger (Porifera : Desmospongiae) from the Mediterranean Sea
Bulletin de l'Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique
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,
1 892), even though they are both characterized by the occurrence
of a peculiar spicular type.
