AB - Abstract The taxonomie status of different morphotypes generally ascribed to the species of boring sponge Cliona viridis is examined. Morphometric, ecological and genetic differences between two morphotypes living sympatrically on rocky shores of the Ligurian Sea are considered. Morphotype 1 is characterized by small, well separated papillae (α stage), exclusively boring into the crust of coralline algae on the exposed rocky bottoms of the upper sublittoral zone. Morphotype 2 shows bigger papillae, often connected by portions of encrusting tissue (β stage), and is predominantly found boring into organogenic concretions in slightly lighted habitats. Measurements of tylostyles indicate that morphotype 1 has spicules significantly smaller than morphotype 2. Electrophoretic analysis shows that the two morphotypes are fixed for different alleles at all four loci scored, indicating absence of gene flow between the two populations, i.e. they appear to be distinct biological species. allozyme electrophoresis, moquhology morphometries, sympatric speciation, Mediterranean REFERENCES Bavestrello G , Sarà M. 1992 .
