Note  Ridley (1884) assigned his specimen to Spongia confoederata Lamarck (1814), but this has been discovered to be a Phoriospongia (see Topsent, 1932b). Most subsequent records of this species from Australia conform to Callypsongia muricina (Lamarck, 1814), but not Ridley's material (see Fromont, 1993). This species needs a new name.
Specimens recorded under this name from East Africa need to be compared with Ridley's specimen and subsequent records to establish whether they are C. muricina or not. [details]
