Artemisina is a microcionid characterized by lacking a distinctive choanosomal skeleton or definite spongin fibres, lacking also echinating spicules, and with a nearly radial ectosomal skeleton (Hooper 2002). The genus currently has 19 valid species, six of which are recorded from the Atlantic Ocean (Van Soest et al. 2016): A. erecta Topsent, 1904, A. incrustans van Soest et al., 2013, A. melana van Soest, 1984, A. melanoides van Soest et al., 2013, A. transiens Topsent, 1890 and A. vulcani Lévi, 1963. The present study describes a new species of Artemisina from Northeastern Brazil. Four specimens of Artemisina brasili sp. nov. were collected by snorkelling at Pernambuco State. All specimens were preserved in 80% ethanol and deposited in the Porifera Collections at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPEPOR) and Museu Nacional of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (MNRJ).
阿耳忒弥斯海绵属是一种微小的海绵动物,其特征是缺乏独特的体腔骨骼或明确的海绵质纤维,也没有棘刺,并且具有近乎放射状的体表骨骼(胡珀,2002年)。该属目前有19个有效物种,其中6种记录于大西洋(范·索斯特等人,2016年):直立阿耳忒弥斯海绵,托普森,1904年;包被阿耳忒弥斯海绵,范·索斯特等人,2013年;黑色阿耳忒弥斯海绵,范·索斯特,1984年;类黑阿耳忒弥斯海绵,范·索斯特等人,2013年;过渡阿耳忒弥斯海绵,托普森,1890年;火山阿耳忒弥斯海绵,列维,1963年。本研究描述了一种来自巴西东北部的阿耳忒弥斯海绵属新物种。巴西阿耳忒弥斯海绵新种的四个标本是在伯南布哥州通过浮潜采集的。所有标本都保存在80%的乙醇中,并存放于伯南布哥联邦大学的多孔动物标本馆(UFPEPOR)和里约热内卢联邦大学的国家博物馆(MNRJ)。
