The New Zealand sponges belonging to the orders Axinellida and Halichondrida are described and discussed with respect to their systematics and general ecological characteristics. Thirty species belonging to 16 genera within the Axinellida are described-one genus (Acanthoclada) and 10 species are new. The Halichondrida are represented by five genera and 15 species, of which one is new. |
