03E287BA9E59531AFE32F9A8346A8C2F.taxon	discussion	Remarks Raspailia (Parasyringella) rubra sp. nov. constitutes the first record of the subgenus in the Eastern Pacific. Species of the subgenus Parasyringella are characterized by an axial extra-axial skeleton (Hooper 2002) and bearing choanosomal spicules, styles or oxeas (Table 2). The species assigned to this subgenus with oxeas as choanosomal spicules are: R. (Parasyringella) elegans (Lendenfeld 1887) and R. (Parasyringella) nuda Hentschel 1911. Raspailia (Parasyringella) elegans is an orange planar or biplanar fan sponge from the north-western coast of Australia (Hooper 1991). It has choanosomal oxeas (176 – 275 × 4 – 11 µm), extra-axial styles (478 – 830 × 2 – 5 µm) and ectosomal oxeas (108 – 164 × 1.5 – 3.5 µm). The extra-axial styles are longer in R. (Parasyringella) rubra sp. nov. than in R. (Parasyringella) elegans (Table 2). Besides, there are some differences in the morphology and length of the ectosomal spicules (ectosomal oxeas in R. (Parasyringella) elegans versus ectosomal styles / anisoxeas in Raspailia (Parasyringella) rubra sp. nov.). Raspailia (Parasyringella) nuda Hentschel 1911 is an orange arborescent or stipitate sponge described from Australia (Hooper 1991). It has choanosomal oxeas / anisoxeas (260 – 640 × 7 – 24 µm), subectosomal styles (820 – 1673 × 9 – 16 µm) and ectosomal oxeas / anisoxeas (243 – 472 × 1.5 – 7 µm). The choanosomal oxeas are longer in R. (Parasyringella) nuda than in R. (Parasyringella) rubra sp. nov.	en	Aguilar-Camacho, Jose Maria, Carballo, Jose Luis (2013): Raspailiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Axinellida) from the Mexican Pacific Ocean with the description of seven new species.

03E287BA9E5D5316FEA5FA77371B8D40.taxon	discussion	Remarks Raspailia (Raspaxilla) hymani (Dickinson 1945) is a deep-sea species from the West Pacific coast of the Baja California Peninsula. The holotype was considered lost by Hooper et al. (1999), but this material was found in the Allan Hancock Collection. Dickinson (1945) reported one category of rhabdostyles; however, the material examined (including the holotype) has two categories. This species was originally described in the genus Hemectyon (Dickinson 1945), but Desqueyroux-Faúndez and van Soest (1997) moved this species into the genus Aulospongus. Later, Hooper et al. (1999) transferred this species to the subgenus Raspaxilla (genus Raspailia). The morphological difference between these genera is the choanosomal skeleton: axial extra-axially compressed in Raspailia (Raspaxilla) and a reticulum of compressed primary fibre bundles in Aulospongus.	en	Aguilar-Camacho, Jose Maria, Carballo, Jose Luis (2013): Raspailiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Axinellida) from the Mexican Pacific Ocean with the description of seven new species.

03E287BA9E515311FEA2FB8932768AFE.taxon	discussion	Remarks Raspailia (Raspaxilla) hyle (de Laubenfels 1930) is distributed along the West Pacific coast of Baja California Peninsula and the Pacific coast of the USA. This species was originally described in the genus Hemectyon for bearing rhabodstyles with prominent spines (de Laubenfels 1930). Currently, Hemectyon is considered a subgenus of the genus Endectyon (Hooper 2002). Hooper et al. (1999) moved this species into the subgenus Raspaxilla (genus: Raspailia) because of the axial extra-axial skeleton.	en	Aguilar-Camacho, Jose Maria, Carballo, Jose Luis (2013): Raspailiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Axinellida) from the Mexican Pacific Ocean with the description of seven new species.

03E287BA9E495309FE43FBA135258C1C.taxon	discussion	Remarks Aulospongus aurantiacus sp. nov. is a subtidal sponge from the Gulf of California. This species is characterized by having choanosomal styles and curved rhabdostyles microspined. The species assigned to this genus with these characteristics are: Aulospongus similaustralis Hooper et al. 2008, Aulospongus tubulatus (Bowerbank 1873), Aulospongus spinosum (Topsent 1927) and Aulospongus monticularis (Ridley and Dendy 1886). Aulospongus similaustralis Hooper et al. (2008) is a globular sponge recorded from the western coast of Australia. It has choanosomal styles (150 – 400 µm), microspined rhabdostyles (70 – 255 µm) and subectosomal tylostyles (720 – 1400 µm). Aulospongus aurantiacus sp. nov. has styles in two categories and ectosomal subtylostyles / styles while A. similaustralis has one category of styles and ectosomal tylostyles. Aulospongus tubulatus (Bowerbank 1873) is a massive or tubular sponge recorded from Sri Lanka. It has choanosomal rhabdostyles (304 – 462 µm), rhabdostyles microspined (109 – 126 µm) and ectosomal styles (212 – 250 µm). The rhabdostyles are longer in A. aurantiacus sp. nov. than in A. tubulatus. Aulospongus spinosum (Topsent 1927) is a bulbous sponge described from Cape Verde at 219 m depth. It has choanosomal rhabdostyles in two sizes (770 – 1085 µm and 90 – 182 µm), acanthostyles (75 – 145 µm) and ectosomal oxeas (40 – 50 µm). The morphology of the ectosomal spicules is the main difference between these species: styles / subtylostyles in A. aurantiacus sp. nov. and oxeas in A. spinosum. Aulospongus monticularis (Ridley and Dendy 1886) is an encrusting or massive sponge described from Cape Verde. This species has choanosomal rhabdostyles (290 – 518 µm), microspined rhabdostyles (132 – 275 µm) and subectosomal styles (620 – 960 µm). Aulospongus aurantiacus has the subectosomal styles shorter than A. monticularis.	en	Aguilar-Camacho, Jose Maria, Carballo, Jose Luis (2013): Raspailiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Axinellida) from the Mexican Pacific Ocean with the description of seven new species.

03E287BA9E45533DFE12FA9A34E98C19.taxon	discussion	Remarks Eurypon brunus sp. nov. is a subtidal species from the Mexican Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by having subtylostyles in two categories, acanthostyles in two sizes and subectosomal styles / anisoxeas. The only species assigned to this genus which have these characteristics are Eurypon miniaceum (Thiele 1905) and Eurypon graphidiophora (Hentschel 1911) (Table 12). Eurypon miniaceum (Thiele 1905) is a red encrusting sponge described from Calbuco (Chile) at 30 m depth. This species has choanosomal tylostyles in three categories 2000 – 3000 × 30 µm; 800 × 30 µm; and> 120 µm), acanthostyles (120 µm) and subectosomal styles (550 × 5 µm). Eurypon brunus sp. nov. has the acanthostyles I longer than in E. miniaceum. Eurypon graphidiophora (Hentschel 1911) is a grey encrusting sponge described from Australia. This species has straight or curved styles (280 – 1500 × 7 – 11 µm), acanthostyles (48 – 88 × 5 µm) and ectosomal rhapides / styles (350 – 400 × 2 – 3 µm). The acanthostyles are longer in E. brunus sp. nov. than in E. graphidiophora.	en	Aguilar-Camacho, Jose Maria, Carballo, Jose Luis (2013): Raspailiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Axinellida) from the Mexican Pacific Ocean with the description of seven new species.
