Clathrina is a genus of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae. Several species formerly in Clathrina were transferred to the newly erected genera Arturia, Ernstia, Borojevia, and Brattegardia in 2013. The name is derived from the Latin word "clathratus" meaning "latticed".
Grantia is a genus of calcareous sponges belonging to the family Grantiidae. Species of the genus Grantia contain spicules and spongin fibers.
Halichondria is a genus of sea sponges belonging to the family Halichondriidae. These are massive, amorphous sponges with clearly separated inner and outer skeletons consisting of bundles of spicules arranged in a seemingly random pattern.
Ascaltis pelliculata is a species of sea sponge in the family Leucascidae, first described as Leucoselenia pelliculata by Arthur Dendy in 1891. it is found in the coastal waters of Victoria.
Leuconia is a genus of calcareous sponges in the family Baeriidae. It was described by English anatomist and zoologist Robert Edmond Grant in 1833.
Sycon is a genus of calcareous sponges belonging to the family Sycettidae. These sponges are small, growing up to 7.5 cm and having length from 2.5 to7.5, and are tube-shaped and often white to cream in colour. They are known to aquarium hobbyists as "Pineapple" or "Q-Tip" sponges, and are frequent "hitchhikers" accidentally brought in.
Homaxinella is a genus of sea sponges in the family Suberitidae. The type species is Homaxinella balfourensis.
Arthur Dendy was an English zoologist known for his work on marine sponges and the terrestrial invertebrates of Victoria, Australia, notably including the "living fossil" Peripatus. He was in turn professor of zoology in New Zealand, in South Africa and finally at King's College London. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society.
Arturia is a genus of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae which contains 14 species. It is named after Arthur Dendy, a prominent researcher of calcareous sponges. It was renamed Arturia in 2017 because the name Arthuria was already assigned to a genus of molluscs.
Sycon yatsui is a species of calcareous sponge belonging to the family Sycettidae. The scientific name of the species was first published in 1929.
Ascaltis is a genus of sponges in the family Leucascidae, first described in 1872 by Ernst Haeckel.
Ascaltis grisea is a species of sea sponge in the family Leucascidae, first described as Leucosolenia grisea by Arthur Dendy in 1891. It is known only from its type locality on the Houtman Albrolhos archipeligo in Western Australia. It is a marine sessile filter-feeder.
Leucetta is a genus of sponges in the family Leucettidae, which was first described in 1872 by Ernst Haeckel. The type species is Leucetta primigenia Haeckel, 1872 by subsequent designation.
Vosmaeropsis is a genus of sponges in the family, Heteropiidae, and was first described in 1893 by Arthur Dendy. The type species by subsequent designation is Vosmaeropsis macera.
Vosmaeropsis mackinnoni is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Heteropiidae, and was first described in 1924 by Arthur Dendy and Leslie M. Frederick. It is known only from its type locality in the Abrolhos Islands, in Western Australia.
Leucettusa is a genus of sponges belonging to the family Leucaltidae. The species of this genus are mostly known from the Arctic and Antarctic, New Zealand and Southwest Australia.
Leucettusa lancifera is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucaltidae first described by Arthur Dendy in 1924, and found in New Zealand waters,.
Leucettusa tubulosa is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucaltidae first described by Arthur Dendy in 1924, and found in New Zealand waters,.
Leucetta chagosensis is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucettidae, and was first described in 1913 by Arthur Dendy. The species epithet, chagosensis, comes from the Latin with the ending -ensis indicating that the species comes from the Chagos archipeligo in the Indian Ocean. The taxonomic decision for synonymy is based on Maurice Burton (1963).
