Abstract
Thrombus jancai new species (Thrombidae) was collected in a cave at 30 m depth, near Chalet Caribe, Montego Bay, Jamaica. Other species of T hrombus are known only from depths exceeding 100 m, with one possible exception. The new species differs from other Thrombus spp. in the siz e of the sponge, the size and types of acanthotriaenes and in the occu rrence of amphiasters which are known from one other species only.
