| Abstract |
During the "MUSORSTOM" cruises in the southwestern Pacific, and particularily off New Caledonia, 19 species of Hexactinellida Amphidiscophora have been found. Twelve species are considered as new: Hyalonema spatlia, H. uncinata ti. microstauractina, Sericolophus calsubus, S neocaledonicus, Semperella abyssalis, S. crosnieri, S. varioactina foliopogon micropentactinus, P. claviculus, P. zonecus, and Pheronema pseudogiganteum. Iwo other new species were collected near Hawaii: Sericolophus hawaiicus and off eastern Australia: Sericolophus cidancus. The description of the holotype of Pheronema giganteum Schulze is completed. |
