Abstract This paper is the fifth in a series revising the
taxonomy of New Zealand dictyoceratid sponges (phylum Porifera, subclass
Ceractinomorpha, order Dictyoceratida). Six new species of the genus
Spongia are added to New Zealand's known fauna. The use of subgenera
within the genus
Spongia is discussed, and two new subgenera are
proposed. The genus
Hippospongia is revised, and an emended generic
diagnosis is proposed.
