Ten new species of two families (Suberitidae and Polymastidae) are described from Korea. Six new species in Suberitidae: Plicatellopsis ramosa n. sp., Pseudosuberites anheungensis n. sp. P. youngilensis n. sp., Suberites hwasunensis n. sp., S. chujaensis n. sp. and S. rugosa n. sp. are compared with other similar reported species. All new species differ from previously reported species in morphology, texture, color, skeletal structure, and spicule type. Four new species in Polymastidae: Polymastia fistula n. sp., P. sasuensis n. sp., P. viridis n. sp., and Weberella haengwonensis n. sp. are different from previously reported species in the growth form of papillaes and fistules, color and spicule types. For example, Weberella haengwonensis is similar to Weberella verrucosa in shape, but differs based on surface papillaes and spicule sizes.

During the period from July 1956 to July 1967, authors collected marine sponges from the East sea, the Korea Strait and the Yellow sea. The results of the identification turned out to be 17 species, 14 genera and 10 families. The species are as follows: Family Haliclonidae: 1. Haliclona permollis; Family Callyspongiidae: 2. Callyspongia elegans, 3. C. ramosa, 4. Ceraochalina differentiata; Family halichondriidae: 5. Halichondria japonica, 6. H. okadai, 7. H. oshoro, 8. H. panicea; Family Suberitidae: 9. Suberites ficus; Family Myxillidae: 10. Myxilla setoensis, 11. Lissodendoryx isodictyalis; Family Ophlitaspondiidae: 12. Ophlitaspongia noto, 13. Mycale plumosa; Family Ancorinidae: 14. Penares incrustans; Family Tethyidae: 15. Tethya japonica; Family Grantiidae: 16. Leucandra tuba; Family Heteropiidae: 17. Vosmaeropsis japonica.

Two new marine sponges in genus Suberites, S. hataedoensis n. sp and S. waedoensis n. sp have been collected from Hataedo Island and Waedo Island, Korea during 2005-2006. S. hataedoensis n. sp. is similar to S. durissimus in the spicule composition and texture. However, they differ in growth form, skeleton and surface. S. waedoensis n. sp. is similar to S. japonicus in spicule composition and skeleton. However, they differ in growth form, surface and texture.
