New Caledonia data
Spongicoloides novaezelandiae - Goy, 2015, Zootaxa: 311, New Caledonia. BIOCAL, stn CP61, 24°11’S, 167°32’E, 1070 m, 2.IX.1985, 1 female, (MNHN-Na 11996).—BIOCAL, stn CP60, 24°01’S, 167°08”E, 1480–1530 m, 2.IX.1985, 1 female ov.

Spongicoloides novaezelandiae - Schnabel et al., 2021, MDPI, Diversity: tab. 1, Stenopodidea sequences, MNHN-IU-2013-19488, CO1, MZ539867, 16S rRNA, MZ531918; MNHN-IU-2013-19622, 16S rRNA, MZ531919; MNHN-IU-2013-19627, 16S rRNA, MZ531920; MNHN-IU-2013-19630, 16S rRNA, MZ53192; New Caledonia. Not Spongicoloides novaezelandiae but Spongicoloides weijiaensis Xu, Zhou & Wang, 2017 for three of four specimens reported from New Caledonia (BIOCAL specimens listed in Goy [13] as MNHN-Na-11996 [IU-2013-19630], Na-11997 [IU-2013-19488] and Na-11998 [IU-2013-19627]) were successfully sequenced and are referred to S. weijiaensis (Figure 2).

Spongicoloides novaezelandiae - Schnabel et al., 2021, MDPI, Diversity: 25, only New Zealand (type locality), southern Chatham Rise, 990–1110 m. New records presented here extend the range southwards to Macquarie Ridge, 998–1270 m ... Records recently presented by Goy [13 - Stenopodidean shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda) from New Caledonian waters.] of S. novaezelandiae from New Caledonia are referable to S. sonne sp. nov. and S. weijiaensis based on DNA sequence similarities (Figure 2 and see comments below). Further specimens from Tasmania, Madagascar, Indian Ocean and Fiji mentioned by Goy [13] require more detailed examination

Comment(s) on data
found in a hexactinellid sponge of the genus Euplectella
See Schnabel, Kou & Xu (in prep. 2021 for Diversity - MDPI). Goy (2015) record of S. novaezelandiae belong to a new species S. sonne sp. nov. and to S. weijiaensis). Others records by Goy (2015) of S. novaezelandiae need to be checked as this species is potentially endemic of NZ area.
