Note  The origin of Spongia strigilata Lamarck is unknown, but here assumed to be Australia (following Hooper & Wiedenmayer, 1994). The species has been considered Atlantic and considered a senior synonym of Higginsia coralloides Higgin by many authors (e.g. Topsent, 1933, Burton, 1954). Hence it is reported from many different parts of the oceans. [details]
