A new species of Isodictya (Porifera: Poecilosclerida) from the Southern Ocean
We discovered a new species of Porifera belonging to the genus Isodictya Bowerbank, 1864 during cruises aboard R/V Hesperides in Antarctica. Collected samples are mostly part of the surveys of the Spanish project BENTART whose main objective has been to study the benthic communities inhabiting sea b...

We discovered a new species of Porifera belonging to the genus Isodictya Bowerbank, 1864 during cruises aboard R/V Hesperides in Antarctica. Collected samples are mostly part of the surveys of the Spanish project BENTART whose main objective has been to study the benthic communities inhabiting sea bottoms of Livingston and Deception Island in the South Shetlands archipelago and the Antarctic Peninsula. Isodictya filiformis sp. nov., described here, is characterized by its fragile and thin morphology (very different from other known species in the area) and by having microxeas as additional microscleres.
