Two sponges of the Order Verongida are described: Aplysina gerardogreeni and Aplysina aztecus, collected by dredging during an oceanographic croise and by SCUBA diving at different sites on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Aplysilla gerardogreeni is massive, with small tubes on top, ochre-yellow, spongin fibers not distinguishable between primaries and secondaries, 30-150 µm in diameter, pith 33-80% of the fiber diameter, meshes 200·2000 µm wide and choanocyte chambers 12-17 µm, Aplysina aztecus is globose-like and supported by a stalk, bright yellow, spongin fibers not distinguishable between primaries and secondaries, SO-200 µm in diameter, pith 30-95% of the fiber diameter, meshes 285·2000 µm wide, and choanocyte chambers 23µm.
