Kersken et al. (Hydrobiologia 811:283–293, 2018) recently reported a phylogenetic analysis of ribosomal DNA of glass sponges (Porifera: Hexactinellida) including new specimens from the NE Pacific. Their study is important as it significantly increased the taxon sampling of this important deep-sea group. Unfortunately, there are several issues with these authors’ dataset assembly and choice of phylogenetic analysis methods. Furthermore, they did not consider previous literature that is highly relevant to interpretation of their results. Here I provide critically constructive comments on their paper and present an alternative analysis that utilizes established methodological techniques. I show that several of Kersken et al.’s findings and claims are unsustainable, and provide an extended discussion of the updated glass sponge phylogeny.

Hexactinellida (additional source)
 Classification
 for Caulophacella Lendenfeld, 1915

According to molecular phylogenetic results, this taxon should be accepted as a separate genus. [details]
 Classification
 for Caulophacus (Caulophacella) Lendenfeld, 1915

According to molecular phylogenetic results, this taxon should be reassigned generic status. [details]
 Phylogeny
 for Caulophacus (Caulodiscus) Ijima, 1927

Molecular phylogenetic results indicate that this taxon is not monophyletic. [details]
 Phylogeny
 for Caulophacus (Caulophacus) Schulze, 1886

Molecular phylogenetic results indicate that this taxon is not monophyletic. [details]

In their current scope, this family and its subfamilies are artificial taxa to accommodate sceptrulophoran genera ... [details]
 Phylogeny
 for Hyalonema Gray, 1832

Molecular data indicate that this genus as well as at least some of its subgenera are not monophyletic as currently ... [details]
 Phylogeny
 for Semperella Gray, 1868

Molecular data indicate that this genus might not be monophyletic in its current scope. [details]
 Taxonomy
 for Semperella jiaolongae Gong, Li & Qiu, 2015

Molecular data indicate that this species might actually belong to Schulzeviella. [details]
