Known from the South and East coasts of Australia. 
With this sponge I identify some specimens (biggest specimen 
ca. 15 mm in diameter); in external features they closely agree with 
this species; the spicutes are apparently somewhat more pomted 
than stated by Le n d en feid; the rays somewhat shorter, ca. 90/< 
(Ldf. ca. 0,10 mm), shape the same.

One specimen, somewhat damaged. The small diacts are here 
somewhat smaller than in Lendenfeld’s specimens, up to 60 //, 
against Lendenfeld’s 0,o8 mm. The oscular diacts are not present 
here,on account of the faet, that the part of the sponge, carrying 
the osculum has been torn off. 
So far as I am aware, only 7 sponge-species were hitherto 
known from the Auckland- and Campbell-Islands, viz. Leueosolenia 
echinata Kirk (“Contribution to the knowledge of the New Zealand 
Sponges”; Trans. N. Z. Inst., Vol. XXVI, p. 175) and Stylohalina 
conica Kirk (“Two Sponges from Campbell Island”; The Sub- 
antarctic Islands of New Zealand. Vol. II, 1909, p. 539 — 40. PI.
