AB  - Diversity  of  class  Demospongiae  in  the  Boka  Kotorska  Bay  (Montenegro,  Adriatic  Sea)  is presented with 2 subclasses, 25 families and 46species. Among them six species are Mediterranean endemics  and 12are  under  protection  by  national  and  international  legislation.  This  paper  is  a compilation of already published literature and recently collected data. The information was collected on 33 locations around the Boka Kotorska Bay. According to the literature 38species are distributed in  the  area,  while  personal  data  confirm  the  presence  of eightspecies  new  for  the  area. Fauna  of Porifera in the Boka Kotorska Bay is still partially known, although new data are constantly acquired and further studies are necessary for better assessing the sponge diversity in this area.
