Abstract
A taxonomic study on the marine sponges was conducted with materials which were collected from Ulleung Island and Chuja Island, Korea by SCUBA diving during the period of July 2000 to May 2005. Among them, two species, Mycale (Aegogropila) jukdoensis n. sp. and Mycale (Mycale) chujaensis n. sp. are new to science. M. (A.) jukdoensis n. sp. seems closely to M. grandis based on the shape of spicules, but our new species has two categories of subtylostyles and also larger sigmas and raphides than those of M. grandis. And anisochelae I of M. (A.) jukdoensis n. sp. is smaller than that of M. grandis. M. (M.) chujaensis n. sp. is similar to M. sulgata in the growth form and size of microscleres. However, the new species has two categories of subtylostyles instead of one type in M. sulgata.
