A new marine sponge, Antho (Acarnia) seogwipoensis n. sp., of the family Microcionidae, was collected from Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, Korea, about 100 m in depth using a gill net on 1969. The genus Antho Gray, 1867 including Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida, Microcionidae, is a large group of sponges. About 100 species in Antho were reported from worldwide. The genus Antho contains five subgenera: Antho, Acarnia, Isopenectya, Jia, and Plocamia. Among them, about 30 species in Acarnia were described in world sponge. A new sponge's body shape is branching, size up to 124 mm wide, 213 mm high, 3-8 mm thick in branch and 7-9 mm thick in stalk. Antho (Acarnia) seogwipoensis n. sp. is similar to A. (A.) novizelanicum Ridley and Duncan, 1881 based on their spicules type and skeletal structure, but differs in the spicules dimension and growth form. This new species is branched growth form and have three kinds of toxa.

Two new species belonging to genus Mycale are described from the waters around Geojedo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea. Mycale (M.) geojensis n. sp. seems close to M. (M.) adhaerens parvasigma Hoshino, 1981, but our new species has three categories of anisochelae. M. (Aegogropila) hentscheli n. sp. is closest to M. (A.) obscura (Carter, 1882) in shape and spicule, but has no large sigma.

Two new marine sponges, Clathria (Clthria) jungtaedoensis n. sp. and Antho (Antho) hataedoensis n. sp. were collected in Taedo Island, Korea. C. (C.) jungtaedoensis n. sp. is similar to C. (C.) striata. The new species, however, has many small toxa and massive form. A. (A.) hataedoensis n. sp. is similar to A. (A.) inconstans from Gulf of Naples, Italy, but differs from the latter in the size of spicules. The toxa in the new species is about one third as long as A. (A.) inconstans's.

new species Iotrochota rutzleri n. sp. (Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida: Iotrochotidae) was collected from intertidal zone, Sinyangri, Seongsanpo, Jejudo Island, Korea during 2008-2009. Iotrochota rutzleri n. sp. is similar to I. baculifera Ridley, 1884 in composition of spicules and skeletal structure. However, it is different in size of spicules, growth form and colour. All spicules of this new species are smaller than those of the latter.

A new marine sponge in the family Microcionidae, Ophlitaspongia yongjeongensis n. sp. is collected from Yongjeong-ri, Hyeongyeong-myeon, Muan-gun, Korea during 2005-2007. O. yongjeongensis n. sp. is closely related to O. reticulata in growth form (shape and color). However, the thick style and slender style of O. yongjeongensis n. sp. are larger than O. reticulata's (Bergquist and Fromont, 1988).

A new species of the genus Biemna(Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida: Desmacellidae), Biemna hongdoensis n. sp. was collected from Hongdo Island, Korea by SCUBA diving in 2004. B. hongdoensis n. sp. is closely related to B. megalosigma Hentshel, 1912 in their spicules, but the styles and sigmas of new species are larger than B. megalosigma's and microxeas and raphides of new species are smaller than B. megalosigma's. Also, new species has not spheres. The stubby conulose are distributed throughout the surface of new species.

Two new marine sponges, Clathria(Clthria) gimnyeoungenesis n. sp. and Clathria(Clthria) reticularis n. sp., were collected in Jejudo Island, Korea by fishing nets in September 1994. C.(C.) gimnyeoungenesis n. sp. is closely related to C.(C.) toxipraedita Topsent, 1913 based on spicule types, but are different in the size of spicules and growth forms. Especially, the thick styles and large toxas length of this species are half of C.(C.) toxipraedita. Growth form of the new species is branched but massive encrusting in C.(C.) toxipraedita. C.(C.) reticularis n. sp. is similar to C.(C.) compressa Schmidt, 1862 based on spicule types, but are different in the size of spicules. Especially, large toxas of this new species is twice as long as C.(C.) compressa and they have large isochelae, which are absent in the latter.

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.
