Spongia patera (now Cliona patera) was the first species of sponge to be described (and recorded) from Singapore. The 1822 paper by Major-General Thomas Hardwicke in the fourteenth volume of the journal Asiatick Researches is conventionally cited as the first description of this species. During the Asiatic Society’s meeting of 13 November 1819, the name Spongia patera and an accompanying description by Hardwicke was read. The proceedings of this meeting were published in 1820, thereby making the name available from this date. Other nomenclatural aspects related to Cliona patera (Hardwicke, 1820), are also discussed.

Thirty-three (33) species of marine sponge were identified in this study. Four were identified as possiblynew to science; a short description of these species is given here. In addition, one species has potential for bath sponge culture. Percent similarity of species is low between stations suggesting a highly diverse sponge assemblage around the island. Clustering of the stations appears to be related to distance between stations.

Annotated checklist of sponges (Porifera) of the South China Sea region.2000 •
Many important scientific collections of Poritera have been made within the South China Sea region, commencing in the late 1700s during the era of the spice trade', but no synthesis or inventory of this fauna had so far been attempted. This annotated systematic checklist of marine sponges contains over 1500 species recorded in the scientific Iiterature including marine natural products records), or so far unpublished collections known to exist in Museums. As for many other marine invertebrate phyla the South China Sea region contains an exceptionally high diversity of sponges, with an expectation that many more species await discovery and description. This checklist indicates that about 5% of the fauna is widely distributed in the Indowest Pacific, mainly associated with the coral reef fauna, some wide Indo-Pacific species, a few known to be introduced through human activities, whereas most appear to be endemic to this region. This latter group is relatively more specialised in its ecological requirements than widespread coral reef species, living on non-emergent deeper reefs, soft bottoms, trawl grounds and other habitats which are rarely considered in conservation strategies. These strategies are discussed as they relate to particular characteristics of the sponge fauna.

The calcareous sponges collected during Indonesian-Dutch research projects, incorporated in the collections of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center (formerly the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie and the Zoölogisch Museum of the University of Amsterdam), are described and discussed. A total of 37 species were distinguished, of which 16 are new to science, while several others are very poorly known. The new species are Clathrina purpurea sp.nov., Clathrina beckingaesp.nov., Clathrina sororcula sp.nov., Arthuria tubuloreticulosa sp.nov., Ernstia indonesiae sp.nov., Ernstia chrysopssp.nov., Ernstia klautauae sp.nov., Ernstia naturalis sp.nov., Ascandra kakaban sp.nov., Ascandra crewsi sp.nov., Ascaltis angusta sp.nov., Pericharax orientalis sp.nov., Sycetta vinitincta sp.nov., Anamixilla singaporensis sp.nov., Grantessa borojevici sp.nov. and Grantessa tenhoveni sp.nov. An additional six species reported from Indonesia, but not represented in our material, are briefly characterized.

Revisit Study of Freshwater Sponges Eunapius carteri (Bowerbank, 1863) and a New Record of Oncosclera asiatica Manconi and Ruengsawang, 2012 (Porifera: Spongillida) in Porong River, East Java, IndonesiaDistribution of freshwater sponges (Porifera: Spongillida) in Indonesia is currently insufficiently reported and underestimated compared to marine sponges. An inventory study on freshwater sponges in East Java after Indonesian independence in 1945 is yet to be carried out. For this reason, we reported new records of two freshwater species, Eunapius carteri (Bowerbank, 1863) and Oncosclera asiatica (Manconi and Ruengsawang, 2012) in Porong river, East Java, Indonesia. E. carteri species was originally described in Mumbai, India and its presence in Java was reported in 1927, 1928, and 1930. DNA barcoding and molecular phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial COI was able to successfully identify our specimens as E. carteri, while analysis using the nuclear ITS markers placed our samples with other Eunapius species. Furthermore, in this study we report for the first time in East Java, Indonesia, the presence of O. asiatica. The O. asiatica species was originally described from Pong Ri...

Aquatic habitats in the Republic of Panamá were examined for freshwater sponges during 21 Feb. to 6 March 1986. Eunapius carteri, Trochospongilla leidyi, and Trochospongilla horrida were found in the northern canal area. This is the first report of E. carteri and T. horrida from Central America, and the first record of E. carteri from the Western Hemisphere. Taxonomic characters used to distinguish T. leidyi and T. horrida from similar South American species are discussed.

Biodiversity in South East Asia: an overview of freshwater sponges (Porifera: Demospongiae: Spongillina)2013 •
We present additional taxonomic descriptions, with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) illustrations, field observations documented by colour photographs, and notes on habitats and ecology of Corvospongilla ultima (Annandale), Eunapius crassissimus (Annandale), Stratospongilla bombayensis (Carter), S. gravelyi (Annandale) and S. indica (Annandale) from recent sponge collections made in western Maharashtra, India. Stratospongilla gravelyi is rediscovered after a century, and along with it, C. ultima and S. indica are illustrated with SEM images for the first time, unequivocally differentiating these two species. Additional taxonomic, ecological data and illustrations of Corvospongilla lapidosa (Annandale), Dosilia plumosa (Carter), Ephydatia meyeni (Carter), Eunapius carteri (Bowerbank) and Radiospongilla cerebellata (Bowerbank) are also provided to supplement the previously published SEM illustrations. All ten spongillid species treated here were originally described from India and three of them are known to be endemic to the Indian region. Present study is the first re-examination of these Indian spongillid species using SEM, providing greater resolution of their important taxonomic characters and careful documentation of their habitats.
