Abstract
A new species of genus Clathria (Microciona) (Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida: Microcionidae), Clathria (Microciona) sinyangensis n. sp. was collected from Intertidal zone by hand at Seopjikoji, Sinyang, Jejudo Island, Korea on 15 Oct. 2008. C. (M.) sinyangensis n. sp. is closely related to C. (M.) pennata Lambe, 1895 in their spicules, but thick subtylostyle of new species is smaller than that of C. (M.) pennata's and has three sizes of toxa. Also, the new species has no dermal membrane.
