Clathrina conifera is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil. [1] The species name refers to the cone-shaped appearance of the triactines.
Cormus formed of large, irregular and loosely anastomosed tubes, white in life and beige when preserved. Water-collecting tubes are absent. The skeleton is composed only of triactines without any special organisation. They are equiradiate and equiangular. Actines are conical and straight with blunt tips. [2]
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".
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.
Clathrina aurea is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil. Specimens of this species were previously misidentified with Clathrina clathrus
Borojevia brasiliensis is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil, from which the species' name is derived.
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 coriacea is a species of calcareous sponge belonging to the class Calcarea and family Clathrinidae. Species in the genus Clathrina are composed of calcium carbonate tube-like skeletons containing spicules. The sponge can be located in shallow waters widely distributed along North Atlantic coasts, as well as on other coasts.
Clathrina cribrata is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae. The holotype was collected from Kristiansund, Norway.
Clathrina cylindractina is a species of calcareous sponge from Brazil. The species is named after the cylindrical-shaped actines the sponge possesses.
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 laminoclathrata is a species of calcareous sponge from Australia. The species name is in reference to its unusual lamina.
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 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.
