038B879BFFAAFFB6FF01F9A93E384951.taxon	description	Description. Specimen is cushion-shaped, white (fixed specimen) (Fig. 2 A). Sponge surface is covered nonerected oval pores. The sponge tissue is soft and fragile. Spongin is scarce. Skeleton has a hymedesmoid arrangement. Ectosomal spicules composed of 2 – 3 bundles of tornotes comprise a column. Skeleton (Fig. 3 A) of the ectosome consists of brushes of tornotes. Choanosomal spicules comprise megascleres (tornotes and acanthostyles) and microscleres (isochelae). Tornotes are slender and straight (subtylo) (190 – 220 x 2 – 3 µm) (Fig. 4 A 1). Acanthostyles (80 – 220 x 4 – 8 µm) are obviously spined along the whole length (Fig. 4 A 2). Microscleres are arcuate isochelae (10 – 20 µm) with flattened shaft (Fig. 4 A 3) and no sigmas. Habitat and distribution. This species was found on a stone at 30 m in the Black Sea. It is a common on hard substrata (rocks, stones, shells) in the infralittoral and shallow circalittoral zones of the British coasts (Goodwin et al. 2011) and the Western Mediterranean Sea (Harmelin et al. 2003, Ackers et al. 1992). This species has not been reported from the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea.	en	Evcen, Alper, Çinar, Melih Ertan, Zengin, Mustafa, Süer, Serdar, Rüzgar, Melih (2016): New records of five sponge species (Porifera) for the Black Sea.

038B879BFFA9FFB6FF01FA6D39BA4BD0.taxon	description	Description. The specimen is massive and encrusting, and grey-brown in color (fixed specimen) (Fig. 2 B). Specimen has slightly hispid surface and soft consistency. Oscules are non-elevated, 2 - 3 mm in size. Choanosomal skeleton has an arranged unispicular (occasionally paucispicular) reticulation that consists of 2 - 6 spicules in every cross section (Fig. 3 B). Spicules only consist of robust, short, curved oxeas: 60 - 100 x 2 - 8 µm (Fig. 4 B). All skeletal column include a few amount of sponging which are present at the nodes of the spicules. Habitat and distribution. This species was found on a Mytilus galloprovincialis at 30 m depth in the Black Sea. It is a common species inhabiting shell and rocky substrata in the shallow-water environments in the western and eastern Mediterranean Sea (Pulitzer-Finali 1978, De Weerdt 2000, Voultsiadou 2005).	en	Evcen, Alper, Çinar, Melih Ertan, Zengin, Mustafa, Süer, Serdar, Rüzgar, Melih (2016): New records of five sponge species (Porifera) for the Black Sea.

038B879BFFA8FFB0FF01F9013EEA4DFA.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined. ESFM – POR / 2014 – 003, October 2013, 30 m, on a mussel shell in sandy bottom, 1 specimen Description. The specimen is massive and thickly encrusting. The body has a greenish color in alcohol; fragile and hard (Fig. 2 C). Oscules are few, slightly elevated, circular and small (2 – 4 mm). Ectosomal and choanosomal skeleton consists of primary multispicular and secondary unispicular tracts (Fig. 3 C). The choanosomal primary columns are covered by large quantities of spongin and thus are very difficult to distinguish. Spicules are include only slender and fusiform oxeas: 180 – 300 x 5 – 9 µm (Fig. 4 C). No microscleres. Habitat and distribution. The species was found on a mussel shell in the Black Sea. It was previously reported on hard substrata in shallow water in the east Atlantic Ocean (Topsent 1892 a, De Weerdt 1987) and the western Mediterranean (Topsent 1892 b), Adriatic Sea (Griessinger 1971), Aegean Sea (Kefalas et al. 2003), Alboran Sea (Maldonado 1992) and Levantine Sea (Evcen & Cinar 2012).	en	Evcen, Alper, Çinar, Melih Ertan, Zengin, Mustafa, Süer, Serdar, Rüzgar, Melih (2016): New records of five sponge species (Porifera) for the Black Sea.

038B879BFFAFFFB0FF01F9DE39284BA2.taxon	description	Description. Specimen is massive, encrusting and 1 – 5 cm in thickness. Color is brown in alcohol (Fig. 2 D). Consistency soft and fragile. Surface is hispid because of projecting spicules. Tubular oscules are slightly elevated (0.5 to 3 cm). The ectosomal skeleton is absent. Choanosomal skeletons are formed by multispicular primary lines, which consist of many single spicules (Fig. 3 D). Spongin is scarce and confined to the nodes of the spicules. Spicules include only long and sharp tipped oxeas (125 – 200 x 3 – 8 µm) (Fig. 4 D). No microscleres. Habitat and distribution. This species was previously found under stones, rocks and shells from the infralittoral zone down to 100 m depth (De Weerdt 1987, Van Soest et al. 2015).	en	Evcen, Alper, Çinar, Melih Ertan, Zengin, Mustafa, Süer, Serdar, Rüzgar, Melih (2016): New records of five sponge species (Porifera) for the Black Sea.

Specimen has brown color in alcohol (Fig. 2 E). Consistency is soft and elastic. Oscules are arranged in disorder, which is up to 6 mm. Skeleton network of primary (80 – 180 µm) fibres were cored by grains (Fig. 3 E 2), and secondary fibres are thinner than primary fibres (30 – 40 µm) (Fig. 3 E 1). It has a very thin filaments (4 – 8 µm), and the inclusions were absent (Fig. 3 E 3). Habitat and distribution. This species was previously collected in different hard bottom (cave, coralligenous community, detritic and rocky) habitats in the Mediterranean Sea (Schmidt 1862, Vacelet 1959, Pansini 1987, Voultsiadou 2005, Evcen & Cinar 2012) and the coasts of West Africa, Atlantic Ocean (Burton 1956).	en	Evcen, Alper, Çinar, Melih Ertan, Zengin, Mustafa, Süer, Serdar, Rüzgar, Melih (2016): New records of five sponge species (Porifera) for the Black Sea.
