J.B.K.; 23 July 2016). Type locality: Bocas del Toro, Panama. External morphology. Ircinia with a thickly encrusting growth habit and a forest green external surface color. Sometimes possesses lobate, short branches departing from base (Figure 2). Conules small (1.5–2 mm in height), sometimes of lighter color than the rest of the body. The body is dotted with black oscula that are uniform in size (0.4–0.5 cm diameter) and are either slightly elevated or flushed to the surface. Interior morphology. Primary fascicular fibers 80–200 µm wide, cored. Interconnecting fibers 20–60 um wide, nearly uncored to completely uncored (Figure 3). Irciniid filaments 1–4 µm wide, terminating in spherical knobs 6–10 µm in diameter. Ecology. All specimens were collected from shallow depths (0.4–0.5 m) on patch reefs that occur in association with small seagrass beds. Etymology. This species is named for the immunologist Jun Siong Low for his methodological advances in identifying pan-coronavirus antibodies. Remarks. Tissue takes on a slightly crisper consistency when preserved in ethanol for several days. Referred to as the ‘Encrusting’ growth form in Kelly et al. (2021).Published as part of Kelly, Joseph B. & Thacker, Robert W., 2021, New shallow water species of Caribbean Ircinia Nardo, 1833 (Porifera: Irciniidae), pp. 301-323 in Zootaxa 5072 (4) on pages 304-305, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5072.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/574882

J.B.K.; 18 August 2018), USNM 1642012 (JK18x34; 16.8083, -88.1496; appx. 0.5 m depth; coll. J.B.K.; 18 August 2018), USNM 1642013 (JK18x35; 16.8083, -88.1496; appx. 0.5 m depth; coll. J.B.K.; 18 August 2018). Type locality: Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, Belize. External morphology. Ircinia with a ramose growth form, although can be occasionally massive lobate in smaller individuals (Figure 10). This species is polymorphic with regard to pinacoderm coloration, and multiple color morphs (gray, dark red, dark green) can be found within a population. Possesses smaller conules (1–1.5 mm). Oscula typically 0.5–1.2 cm in diameter. Interior morphology. Massive fascicular fibers 90–300 µm wide, sometimes cored, and always more heavily than interconnecting fibers. Interconnecting fibers 25–60 um wide, usually uncored (Figure 11). Irciniid filaments 2–6 µm wide terminating in spherical to tear-drop knobs measuring 4–11 µm in diameter. Foreign spicules and sediment are occasionally included in the cortex and are seldom found in the in mesohyl. Fascicles can be rare and difficult to discern from interconnecting secondary fibers (Figure 11). Ecology. This species is found growing on Rhizophora prop roots. Etymology. This species is named for the sponge researcher Rob van Soest. Remarks. Interior morphology can vary somewhat depending on population, as the Twin Cays specimens contained less foreign inclusions relative to the Blue Ground specimens. Referred to as the ‘Sp. 1’ growth form in Kelly et al. (2021).Published as part of Kelly, Joseph B. & Thacker, Robert W., 2021, New shallow water species of Caribbean Ircinia Nardo, 1833 (Porifera: Irciniidae), pp. 301-323 in Zootaxa 5072 (4) on pages 312-313, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5072.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/574882
