A new genus and species of glass sponge, belonging to the family Pheronematidae, is described from a single specimen collected from a seamount near Yap Trench in the western Pacific Ocean. Pheronemoides fungosus gen. et sp. nov. is described based on external morphology. In Pheronemoides gen. nov. the basalia are grouped in a broad semicircular tuft attaching to the dermal surface, and marginalia are located on the boundary between the atrial and dermal surfaces. Given the positions of the basalia and the marginalia, we recognize Pheronemoides as a transitional genus between Pheronema and Sericolophus. We also used a partial sequence of the 16S rDNA gene to confirm the validity of the new species designation.

Sixteen deep-sea polyplacophoran species are reported in this article, fifteen of which were found for the first time in the waters of Taiwan. Two of these species, Leptochiton taiwanensis n. sp. and L. wui n. sp., are described as new to science. Several of these species are distributed near Japan and in other areas of the western Pacific Ocean. Eight of the reported species live and feed on sunken wood. A survey of the polyplacophorans of Taiwan has also been conducted. The updated list of chitons collected near Taiwan at all depths contains 34 species. Seventeen of these species are shallow-water and seventeen species are deep-water chitons.
