Mycale (Paresperella) penicillium ( Von Lendenfeld, 1888) View in CoL
Esperella penicillium Von Lendenfeld, 1888: 213 View in CoL ; Hallmann 1914: 408, pl XXIV fig. 1, text-fig. 15.
Paresperella repens Whitelegge, 1907: 487 View in CoL , pl. XIV fig. 22.
Mycale moluccensis var. dichela Hentschel, 1911: 305 View in CoL , fig 10.
Summary description (mostly from Hallmann 1914: 408–411 and Hentschel 1911: 305–306). The type specimen consists of ‘a few ill-preserved scraps attached to pieces of shells and other débris’, presumably encrusting, which is confirmed by the specimens from Whitelegge and Hentschel. The ectosomal skeleton is a tangential aegogropilalike paucispicular reticulation. The choanosomal skeleton is a loose reticulation of spicule tracts up to 150 µm in thickness, which subdivide near the surface supporting the ectosomal skeleton. Spicules mycalostyles with bidentate ending, occasionally with bluntly rounded ending, 192–410 x up to 8 µm, anisochelae I 29–39 µm, anisochelae II 9–22.5 µm, sigmas I, serrated, 44–52 µm.
Distribution. Port Jackson, SE Australia; Shark Bay, West Australia, shallow water.
Comment. See for further remarks above in the discussion of M. (P.) moluccensis , which differs from M. (P.) penicillium in possessing only one size category of anisochelae as well as toxas, while M.(P.) moluccensis has two sizes of anisochelae and lacks toxas.

Global diversity and distribution of the subgenus Mycale (Paresperella) View in CoL
We queried the World Porifera Database (Van Soest et al. 2020) and added the above results from our Indo-West Pacific Mycale (Paresperella) study to arrive at the current tentative estimate of known accepted species, which numbers 17. Their distribution over the world oceans summarized as the numbers of species found in Marine Ecoregions of the World (cf. Spalding et al. 2007) is presented in Fig. 113 View FIGURE 113 . The subgenus is circumglobal in tropical and warm temperate waters, with a few penetrating into colder temperate waters.
