Abstract
A study on marine sponges was conducted by SCUBA diving at Ulleungdo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea during the period from July 2000 to October 2001. Two species, Clathria (Clathria) gombawuiensis n. sp. and Clathria (C) gageoensis n. sp., are new to the fauna of sponges. Clathria (C) gombawuiensis n. sp. closely relates to Clathria (C) conica Levi, 1963 based on the type of spicules, but differs in size of spicules and growth form, Clathria (C) conica has not small toxa. Clathria (C) gageoensis n. sp. is similar to Clathria (C) hexagonopora Levi, 1963, but it differs in size of spicules and growth form, also Clathria (C) hexagonopora has not small toxa.
