Abstract
Seven Ircinia growth forms were collected from three sites in the Caribbean (Bocas del Toro, Panama; the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, Belize; and the Florida Keys, United States of America). Previous research used an integrative taxonomic framework to delimit species boundaries among these growth forms. Here, we present descriptions for these species, six of which are new to science ( Ircinia lowi sp. nov ., Ircinia bocatorensis sp. nov ., Ircinia radix sp. nov ., Ircinia laeviconulosa sp. nov ., Ircinia vansoesti sp. nov ., Ircinia rutzleri sp. nov .) in addition to one species conferre ( Ircinia cf. reteplana Topsent, 1923).
