COLON, Jesús David y MARIN-CASAS, Dairo. Spongia (Heterofibria) sucrensis sp. nov. (Dyctioceratida: Spongiidae): a new sponge species from the Colombian Caribbean. Bol. Invest. Mar. Cost. [online]. 2020, vol.49, n.2, pp.67-78. Epub 20-Dic-2020. ISSN 0122-9761. https://doi.org/10.25268/bimc.invemar.2020.49.2.976.
The new species Spongia (Heterofibria) sucrensis sp. nov, that was collected in breakwaters in the municipality of Coveñas, department of Sucre (Colombian Caribbean) is described. This is a massive sponge, with erect and creeping lobes or branches; skeleton of ascending primary fibers cored with foreign material; secondary and pseudotertiary fiber meshes cored dominate the skeleton; lighter pseudotertiary fibers connected to the other fiber types or forming a reticulum within secondary fibers meshes. This finding constitutes the first record and description of a species of the subgenus Heterofibria for Colombia and the Caribbean, which raises to nine the species number of the genus for the Caribbean and three for Colombia.
