| Summary: | FIGURE 1. A: Holotype of Aaptos kanuux sp. n. in situ at 219 m depth in Pribilof Canyon. Black pebbles to which the sponge is attached are buried in the silt and not visible. Sponge diameter is approx. 3cm. B: Holotype, preserved in ethanol. Two fragments have already been cut out of the sponge. Note the radial arrangement in the interior. Sponge diameter is 1.9cm C: Radial arrangement of spicules and partly hispid surface visible. D: Overview of spicules occurring in Aaptos kanuux sp. n. Large strongyloxeas, medium sized subtylostyles and short, ectosomal tylostyles. Scale bar is 1 mm. E: Medium sized subtylostyles and ectosomal tylostyles. Scale bar *is* 100µm. F: Ectosomal tylostyles and ends of medium sized spicule category. Scale bar *is* 100µm.
