Abstract
A calcareous sponge Leucotreton kurilense gen. et sp. nov. (Sycanthidae) is described from the area of the Kuril Islands. It differs from all members of the family Sycanthidae in its aquiferous system, which is intermediate between leuconoid and sylleibid. Taxonomic status and nomenclature of several taxa formerly assigned to Sycanthidae is discussed. It is shown that the genus Dermatreton Jenkin, 1908 does not belong to Sycanthidae but this name is a senior synonym of Breitfussia Borojevic et al., 2000 (Jenkinidae), syn. nov.; Dermatreton contains three species previously included in Breitfussia: D. chartaceum Jenkin, 1908, D. schulzei (Breitfuss, 1896), comb. nov. and D. vitiosum (Brøndsted, 1931), comb. nov. It is shown that Tenthrenodes Jenkin, 1908 should be considered as a junior synonym of Sycon Risso, 1827, syn. nov. A new genus Scytotreton gen. nov. (Sycanthidae) is created to accommodate two species originally described in the genera Dermatreton and Tenthrenodes, respectively: Scytotreton hodgsoni (Jenkin, 1908), comb. nov. and S. scotti (Jenkin, 1908), comb. nov.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
