4. Bergquistia latus View in CoL n. sp. ( Figs. 5, 6)
Type specimen. Holotype (NIBRIV0000811391), Korea: Bakmiyeoksum, Sinyang-ri, Chuja-myeon , Jeju-si , Jeju-do, 22 Aug 2000, Lee KJ, by SCUBA diving, Depth 15 m, deposited in the NIBR.
Description. Thick encrusting sponge, size up to 12 × 7 × 3 cm. Surface covered with shrap conules. Filamentous membrane contains irregular skeletal fibres. Oscules, very small and rare. Colour in life grey and pale brown. Texture firm and compressible.
Skeleton: Simple fasciculate primary fibres, 150-200- 400 μm in diameter. Secondary fibres, thick and smooth, 50-200 μm. Broad branched secondary fibres, 400 μm in diameter, no fasciles and appeared at choanosome ( Fig. 5F). Filaments, 1-3 μm in diameter, terminal knob, 3-5 μm in diameter.
Etymology. This new species name, latus , is named after the shape of broad secondary fibres.
Remark. This new species has bridged type secondary fibres which are very broad ending, and no secondary web. Broad ending of secondary fibres can be easily parted from primary fibres because their shape is not root-like ( Fig. 6B).
