A new glass sponge genus (Hexactinellida: Euplectellidae) from abyssal depth of the Yap Trench, northwestern Pacific Ocean Author Shen, Chengcheng Author Dohrmann, Martin Author Zhang, Dongsheng Author Lu, Bo Author Wang, Chunsheng text Zootaxa 2019 2019-03-15 4567 2 367 378 journal article 28348 10.11646/zootaxa.4567.2.9 031856dd-4818-40c5-9645-c4ad5f4e88ee 1175-5326 2595030 7A20F557-E4AD-4638-9861-7BBDF3256B87 Subfamily Bolosominae Tabachnick, 2002 Emended definition (after Tabachnick 2002 ): Basiphytose or rhizophytous Euplectellidae with peduncle. Remarks: Although erection of a new subfamily for Rhizophyta gen. nov. would have been a possibility, we refrained from it because classification of euplectellids according to attachment mode is clearly artificial ( Dohrmann et al. 2017 ). We nevertheless retain the obviously paraphyletic Bolosominae (see below and Dohrmann et al. 2017 ) here for purely practical purposes, pending major revision or abolishment of euplectellid subfamily division.
