Metania rhodesiana BURTON, 1938 and Parametania godeauxi (BRIEN, 1968), from the Ethiopian Region, are redescribed. The second species is transferred to genus Metania GRAY, 1867, whilst Metania innominata BURTON, 1938 is establi shed as a junior synonym of M. rhodesiana. New features of spicules, gemmules and skeleton structure are described and illu strated in SEM. A key is proposed to sort out the three spec ies of Metania presently ascribed to the Ethiopian Region: M. pottsi (WELTNER, 1895), M. rhodesiana and M. godeauxi.
