status

 

Subgenus Callyspongia Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864

Diagnosis.

Callyspongia with smooth surface, ectosomal skeleton not echinated, spongin sheath conspicuous, no fibrofascicles. Modified from ( Desqueyroux-Faúndez and Valentine 2002).

Remarks.

The emphasis by Desqueyroux-Faúndez and Valentine (2002) on a single size of ectosomal mesh of "regular size of single, rounded to polygonal mesh", in their own words was misleading, as a hierarchical pattern of smaller meshes within larger meshes is apparent in several morphological descriptions of the type species, C. fallax (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864), such as those by van Soest (1980) and Zea (1987).
