Clathrina antofagastensis is a species of calcareous sponge from Chile. The species is named after Antofagasta, Chile, where the holotype was discovered.
Specimens are massive, the largest is 20 x 30 x 10 mm. Cormus is composed of large, irregular and tightly anastomosed tubes. Water-collecting tubes are not present. The skeleton is composed of two categories of triactines without organisation:
Arturia africana is a species of calcareous sponge from South Africa.
Clathrina angraensis is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil. The species epithet refers to Angra dos Reis, the Portuguese name for the Botinas Islands.
Borojevia aspina is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil. The species name refers to the lack of spines in the apical actine.
Borojevia brasiliensis is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil, from which the species' name is derived.
Borojevia cerebrum is a species of calcareous sponge from the Mediterranean Sea. The species name refers to the brain-like appearance of the sponge.
Clathrina ceylonensis is a species of calcareous sponge from Sri Lanka. The species name is derived from Ceylon, the former name of Sri Lanka.
Clathrina chrysea is a species of calcareous sponge from New Caledonia. The species epithet refers to the light yellow colour of the sponge.
Clathrina clara is a species of calcareous sponge from India. The name refers to the clear, bright surface of the sponge.
Clathrina conifera is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil. The species name refers to the cone-shaped appearance of the triactines.
Clathrina cylindractina is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil. The species is named after the cylindrical-shaped actines the sponge possesses.
Arturia dubia is a species of calcareous sponge in the genus Arturia from Australia. The species was first described as Leucosolenia dubia by Arthur Dendy in 1891. The name is derived from Dendy's uncertainty about the validity of the species, believing his specimens could, in fact, represent juvenile Leucosolenia cavata.
Ascaltis gardineri is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Leucascidae from India and the Seychelles. The species is named after the British zoologist John Stanley Gardiner.
Arturia hirsuta is a species of calcareous sponge from South Africa. The name refers to the hispid surface of the sponge.
Clathrina hispanica is a species of calcareous sponge from Spain. The species is named after the country of Spain, where it was discovered.
Clathrina hondurensis is a species of calcareous sponge from Belize. The species is named for British Honduras, the former name of Belize, at the time the holotype was collected in 1935.
Clathrina jorunnae is a species of calcareous sponge from Norway. It is only known from Trondheimsfjord, its type locality, where it was dredged from depths of 25–250 m (82–820 ft). The specimen was attached to a bryozoan of the genus Reteporella. The species is named after Jorunn Berg, Hans Tore Rapp's grandmother, who introduced Rapp to marine animals.
Clathrina luteoculcitella is a species of calcareous sponge from Australia. The species name means "yellow pillow" and refers to the appearance of the cormus.
Arturia sueziana is a species of calcareous sponge from Egypt. The species is named after the Egyptian city of Suez where the holotype was discovered.
Borojevia tetrapodifera is a species of calcareous sponge from New Zealand. The species is named after the presence of tetrapods, the only Clathrinid sponge known to possess such spicules.
Clathrina fjordica is a species of calcareous sponge from Chile. The species is named after Comau Fjord, the type locality.
