RESUMO:

The sponges belong to the Phylum Porifera and are characterized by being invertebrate animals with marine predominance, which have a benthic filtering habit and are important bioindicators of environmental quality. The Demospongiae Class is the most representative, followed by the Calcarea Class with 780 species described to the world. For Brazil, this number is of 66 described species distributed in the Brazilian coast and 21 species described for the coast of Pernambuco. The last works performed for the coast of Pernambuco occurred in the 70's and since then, new studies have not been done in the region. In the present work, the collections were done in points not yet studied as the north and south coast of Pernambuco. Among individuals collected, there are new records and two new species: Leucandra serrata, Sycon bellum, Sycon barbadense, Grantia kempfi, Leucilla sacculata, Leucilla macaroensis cf., Leucilla sp nov. 1, Leucilla sp nov. 2 and Paraleucilla sp nov. After this study, our results filled the gap in the coast of Pernambuco regarding the diversity of calcareous sponges, in addition to contributing to increase the number of species known for Pernambuco.
