Petrobras, July 2011.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Geodia with two categories of oxeas, five categories of triaenes (ortho-, dicho-, ana-, pro- and mesotriaenes), sterrasters, two categories of oxyasters and strongylasters.</p> <p>Description (Fig. 9A–B). Globular shape, with 4 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm (length x width x height) (Fig. 9A). Lateral pre-oscula measuring 1.3 cm with abundant uniporal oscules, less than 1 mm (Fig. 9B). Pores not observed, probably contracted. The surface is rough, slightly irregular and the consistency is firm, slightly compressive. Color dark brown in ethanol.</p> <p>Skeleton (Fig. 9C). Cortical skeleton about 1400 µm thick, distinct from the choanosome. The inner layer of the cortex is densely packed with sterrasters and the outer layer is composed of oxyasters II and strongylasters. The choanosomal skeleton consists of bundles of large oxeas and triaenes that radiate out from the center of the sponge. The triaene cladomes underline the cortex (Fig. 9C). Oxyasters I, oxyasters II and strongylasters are also scattered throughout the choanosome. Oxeas II are only found in the choanosome.</p> <p>Megascleres (Fig. 10A–F; Tab. 1).

The specific epithet polytriaena derives from the presence of five categories of triaenes in the new species.</p> <p>Remarks. Geodia polytriaena sp. nov. has a unique spicular composition, with two categories of oxeas, five categories of triaenes (ortho-, dicho-, ana-, pro- and mesotriaenes), two categories of oxyasters and strongylasters. We compared the new species with all other four species of Geodia with dichotriaenes from the Tropical Western Atlantic Ocean: Geodia australis Silva &amp; Mothes, 2000; Geodia garoupa Carvalho, Lopes, Cosme &amp; Hajdu, 2016; Geodia riograndensis Silva &amp; Mothes, 2000; and Geodia spherastrea Lévi, 1964 (Tab. 1). Geodia riograndensis is the only one that also has five categories of triaenes, but is easily distinguished from Geodia polytriaena sp. nov. by its larger oxeas (up to 8464 µm in length) and very large oxyasters (64–86– 114 µm in diameter). Additionally, Geodia australis has larger sterrasters (266–315– 353 µm in diameter), Geodia garoupa has larger oxyasters (up to 90 µm in diameter) and G. spherastrea has larger cortical oxeas (300–375 µm in length) when compared to new species.</p> <p>Due the rarity of dicho-, meso- and protriaenes in G. polytriaena sp. nov., the new species can be compared to Geodia species from the Tropical Western Atlantic that have orthotriaenes (Tab. 1). Geodia polytriaena sp. nov. differs from G. gibberosa, G. neptuni, G. tylastra and G. sulcata by the presence of strongylasters. Geodia glariosa has only one category of oxyasters instead of two categories and Geodia cribrata Rützler, Piantoni, Van Soest &amp; Díaz, 2014 has cortical strongyloxeas instead of cortical oxeas as in the new species. Geodia curacoensis Van Soest, Meesters &amp; Becking, 2014 and Geodia pocillum Van Soest, 2017 have larger choanosomal oxeas than G. polytriaena sp. nov. (up to 4000 µm and 6600 µm in length, respectively). Geodia pachydermata Sollas, 1886 and Geodia splendida Silva &amp; Mothes, 2000 have larger sterrasters than the new species (240 µm and 171 µm in diameter, respectively). Finally, Geodia tuberculosa Bowerbank, 1872 has larger oxyasters I (16–32– 53 µm in diameter), larger strongylasters (9–14– 18 µm in diameter) and smaller sterrasters (41–54– 64 µm in diameter) when compared to G. polytriaena sp. nov.</p> <p>Specimens Register Numbers Diactines Triaenes Sterrasters Euasters MNHN.

Both species have two categories of oxeas, plagio-, ana-, meso- and protriaenes, two categories of oxyasters and strongylasters. However, Geodia polytriaena sp. nov. has large orthotriaenes that are absent in G. papyracea, larger anatriaenes (up to 4500 µm versus 354–633– 885 µm in length) and smaller oxyasters I (17–20– 26 µm versus 22–27– 36 µm in diameter) when compared to G. papyracea.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F80F8797576F7F1FFF3EF930FB9B2C75	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
