A small collection of horny sponges from the north-eastern coast of Papua New Guinea is recorded. It consists of 19 specimens belonging to ten species, of which three are new: Thorectaxia papuensis, Chelonaplysilla delicata, Anomoianthella lamella. Thorectaxia is proposed as a new genus in the family Thorectidae.
