This paper is the third in a series revising the taxonomy of New Zealand dictyoceratid sponges (phylum Porifera, class Ceractinomorpha, order Dictyoceratida). Only one species of Ircinia has previously been described from New Zealand, Ircinia novaezealandiae Bergquist, 1961. Six new species of Ircinia are added to New Zealand's known fauna. The genus Ircinia contains in excess of 40 published species worldwide, although the integrity
of some of these is uncertain, often because of poor diagnoses. The diagnoses of new species reported here provide a model for the morphological descriptions of future species. The subdivision of Ircinia is also considered.
