Leucetta is a genus of sponges in the family Leucettidae, which was first described in 1872 by Ernst Haeckel. [1] [2] [3] [4] The type species is Leucetta primigenia Haeckel, 1872 by subsequent designation. [5] [6]

In Australia, Leucetta species are found off the coasts of New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia. [5] However, species of this genus are found worldwide. [7]
