摘要:

Anatomy, systematics, and zoogeography of 23 species of marine poeciloscleridan Demospongiae (Porifera) from the San Juan Archipelago, Washington, were studied from August 1958 through August 1961. A historical review of published references to Porifera and poriferologists of the Pacific northwest is presented. Relationships between ocean currents, as vectors of larval dispersion, and the known zoogeography of Pacific coast extant marine Porifera are discussed. The known sponge fauna of Washington at 48° N. latitude involves considerable overlap of boreal and temperate species and a moderate degree of endemism. Information on the biological associates of sponges is summarized. The Porifera studied are as follows:Acarnus erithacusDe Laubenfels;Anthoarcuata graceaeBakusgen. n., sp. n.;Biemna rhadiaDe Laubenfels;Esperiopsis originalisDeLaubenfels;Hymedesanisochela rayaeBakusgen. n., sp. n.;Hymendectyon lyoniBakusgen. n., sp. n.;Iophon pattersoni(Bowerbank);Lissodendoryx firma(Lambe);Lissodendoryxaff.kymaDe Laubenfels;Microciona microjoannaDe Laubenfels;Mycale adhaerens(Lambe);Mycale hispida(Lambe);Mycale lingua(Bowerbank);Mycale psila(DeLaubenfels);Mycale richardsoniBakussp. n.;Myxilla incrustans(Esper);Ophlitaspongia pennata(Lambe);Plocamia karykinaDc Laubenfels;Plocamilla illgiBakussp. n.;Podotuberculum hoffmanniBakusgen. n., sp. n.;Stelotrochota hartmaniBakusgen. n., sp. n.;Tedania gurjanovaeKoltun; andZygherpe hyalodermaDe Laubenfels.
