3. Bergquistia textura View in CoL n. sp. ( Fig. 4)
Type specimen. Holotype (NIBRIV0000811390), Korea: Moonsum, Seogwipo-si , Jeju-do, 21 Oct 2002, Lee KJ, by SCUBA diving, Depth 15 m, deposited in the NIBR.
Description. Irregular mass sponge, size up to 14 × 7 × 6 cm, surface, strong collagenous filamentous membrane and covered with low distinct conules. Skeletal fibres attached to filamentous membrane at near surface irregularly. Oscules, 1-5 mm in diameter, rare, only at the side surface. Colour in life ivory and pale grey. Texture elastic and compressible.
Skeleton: Simple fasciculate primary fibres, 150-300- 700 μm in diameter, secondary fibres, thin plate-like with large and small perforation, 50-200 μm in diameter. Filaments, sometimes divided into two branches, 1-2 μm in diameter, terminal knobs, very indistinct, 3 μm in diameter.
Etymology. This new species name, textura , is named after the type of secondary fibres web between primary fibres.
Remark. This new species is very similar to Bergquistia coreana in sponge surface, but skeletal structure is very different ( Fig. 12). This new species has a very irregularly arranged skeletal structure, whereas primary fibres of Bergquistia coreana are divided into two branches. Secondary fibres web between primary fibres are well developed at the near conules.
