Nine new species of genus Ircinia (Demospongiae: Dictyoceratida: Irciniidae) from Jejudo Island, Korea are described. All of the new species are distinguished from the others reported species of Ircinia by the skeletal structure, especially massive fasciculate primary fibres. The characters of genus Ircinia have primary fibres cored with foreign debris and no cored secondary fibres. Primary fibres are not easy to distinguish from secondary fibres if they are not cored. Secondary web has perforated plate or meshed net. All new species have loosely arranged skeletal fibres network.
