Clathrinidae is a family of calcareous sponges in the order Clathrinida. It contains the following genera:
Nicola may refer to:
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 adusta is a species of sea sponge in the family Clathrinidae found in Australia. The species was first described as Clathrina adusta by Gert Wörheide & John Hooper in 1999, and was assigned to the genus, Arthuria, in 2016 by Oliver Voigt & Wörheide. However, the name Arthuria had already been used and hence the genus name was changed to Arturia.
Clathrina clara is a species of calcareous sponge from India. The name refers to the clear, bright surface of the sponge.
Clathrina clathrus is a species of calcareous sponge belonging to the family Clathrinidae.
Arturia compacta is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae found in Mauritius. This species is very likely to be synonymous with Arthuria canariensis, differing only in its larger and thicker triactines. However, the type and only known specimen is lost.
Ascandra contorta is a species of calcareous sponge belonging to the family Clathrinidae.
Ernsta cordata is a species of sea sponge in the family Clathrinidae found in South Africa. The name means "heart-shaped" in Latin.
Clathrina cribrata is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae. The holotype was collected from Kristiansund, Norway.
Clathrina helveola is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae from Australia, found in coastal waters off Queensland. It was first described by Gert Wörheide and John Hooper in 1999. The species name, helveola, means "pale yellow" in Latin and refers to the species' colouration.
Clathrina heronensis is a species of calcareous sponge fin the family Clathrinidae and found in the seas around Australia, and in the coastal seas of many islands to her north. It was first described by Gert Wörheide and John Hooper in 1999.
Ernstia laxa is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae found in New Zealand. The species name is derived from Latin meaning "wide".
Ernstia minoricensis is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae found in Spain. The species is named after the island of Menorca, where the type specimen was discovered.
Clathrina parva is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae, found off the Queensland coast of Australia.
Clathrina wistariensis is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae from Australia, off the Queensland coast.
Janusya darwinii is a species of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae found on the Sunda Shelf. The species is named after the English naturalist Charles Darwin.
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.
Borojevia is a genus of calcareous sponge in the family Clathrinidae. The genus is named after sponge researcher Radovan Borojevic.
Edward Alfred Minchin was a British zoologist who specialised in the study of sponges and Protozoa. He became Jodrell Chair of Zoology at University College London in 1899, Chair of Protozoology at the University of London in 1906, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1911.
