TY - CHAP AB - Between 1994-2003, four different Spanish expeditions were undertaken at the Antarctic Peninsula and Bellingshausen Sea (Antarctica). Many sponge species were collected during these expeditions, six of which belong to the genus Myxilla Schmidt, 1862, redescribed and illustrated here, including reaffirming the validity of Myxilla (Burtonanchora) magna characterised by the presence of styles in the polygonal choanosmal skeleton, tylotes with spined ends in tangentially arranged in ectosome, anchorate chelae and two size classes of sigmas in a dense ectosomal layer.
