Revision of Southwest Pacific Polymastiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Hadromerida) with descriptions of new species of Polymastia Bowerbank, Tylexocladus Topsent, and Acanthopolymastia gen. nov. from New Zealand and the Norfolk Ridge, New Caledonia
Specific diagnostic characters are reviewed and redefined for the genus Polymastia in northern New Zealand waters, to provide a framework for the recognition of new species, and for the revision and redefinition of other Polymastiidae. Eight new species of Polymastia are described, and Polymastia fu...

Species of Polymastia which contain exotyles and centrotylote oxea in addition to the usual megasclere complement, provided the opportunity to redefine the polymastid genera Proteleia, and Tylexocladus, which would typically have been reserved respectively, for sponges with these spicules.
