“…By combining DNA and morphological analyses on the same samples, we show that species within the family can be identified morphologically within a regional fauna. This finding is consistent with recent revisions in other regions that used morphological characters alone and were able to discover and describe new species in the family (Cóndor-Luján et al 2023;Fortunato et al 2020;Morozov et al 2018). However, our molecular phylogeny indicates that most of the genera within the family are polyphyletic.…”

This study presents a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the family Suberitidae (Porifera: Demospongiae) for California, USA. We include the three species previously known from the region, document two additional species previously known from other regions, and formally describe four new species asPseudosuberites latkesp. nov.,Suberites californianasp. nov.,Suberites kumeyaaysp. nov., andSuberites agaricussp. nov. Multi-locus DNA sequence data is presented for seven of the nine species, and was combined with all publicly available data to produce the most comprehensive global phylogeny for the family to date. By integrating morphological and genetic data, we show that morphological characters may be sufficient for regional species identification but are likely inadequate for global classification into genera that reflect the evolutionary history of the family. We therefore propose that DNA sequencing is a critical component to support future taxonomic revisions.

Sponges of the genus Suberites are quite polymorphic and diverse, yet the delimitation of species within the group has always been challenging since there are only a few spicule types that show little, or sometimes no variation in closely allied species. Koltun (1966) created a variety, S. domuncula var. ficus—something of a “dustbin assemblage”—with a geographic distribution ranging from the North Atlantic, across the Arctic, to the North Pacific Oceans. Our study shows that in the Arctic/Subarctic region, boreal S. ficus is replaced by a mix of closely related species: in the western-Arctic—S. lutkenii, in the eastern-Arctic—S. cebriones. A defining feature—centrotylote microxeas—sets the northern species group apart from the boreal S. ficus and all other congeners known outside the Arctic/Subarctic seas. Altogether, we report seven species and one variety belonging to Suberites from the European Arctic/Subarctic. Five species are Arctic endemics: S. lutkenii, S. spermatozoon, S. montiniger, S. glasenappii, and S. cebriones. One species, S. virgultosus, is a typical boreal. S. syringella is apparently a species complex.
