New species of sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae) from the Turkish coast

The census of shallow-water sponges from the northern Aegean and Marmara sea coasts resulted in the collection of 10 species of Demospongiae. A new Hymedesmia species, Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) anatoliensis sp. Nov., is described from the western coast of Turkey. Three further species of demosponges, Axinyssa aurantiaca (Schmidt, 1864), Halichondria (Halichondria) contorta (SarÃ , 1961), and Dictyonella incisa (Schmidt, 1880), are new to the sponge fauna of Turkey.
