Sažetak
Molecular studies impose many changes in the taxonomy of certain animal groups whose relations are based solely on morphological characters. Many freshwater and calcarean sponges have been wrongly identified at morphological level, hence concurrent molecular analyses are necessary. The analysis of repetitive elements in the intergenic regions of freshwater sponge mitochondrial genomes suggests that their families are probably evolutionary related. Based on molecular markers, together with morphological traits, 6 new calcarean species are described here.
