Suberites virgultosus (Johnston 1842) Halichondria virgultosa: Johnston 1842, pp. 137–138; Pl. XV, figs. 1–3. Hymeniacidon virgultosa: Bowerbank 1866, pp. 193–195; Bowerbank 1874, pp. 89–90; Pl. XXXV, figs. 1–5. Description. Halichondria virgultosa was described by Johnston in 1842. His specimens were collected in the North Sea, off Scarborough. Johnston (1842) gave some notes about general habit of a new species, describing several rodshaped, somewhat compressed and twisted sponge fragments with an uneven surface and a grayish-white color. Later Bowerbank (1866; 1874), who examined new material dredged at Dogger Bank in the North Sea and re-examined type material, pushed the original description by Johnston (1842) much forward. Bowerbank (1866; 1874) described elongate, erect, more or less laterally compressed sponge specimens with a corrugated surface. The upper parts of the sponge are rather broad, gradually narrowing towards the basal attachment, which closely embraces a substrate, usually the dead shell ... : Published as part of Morozov, Grigori, Strelkova, Natalya Anisimova, Zimina, Olga & Sabirov, Rushan, 2023, A preliminary account of the Arctic / Subarctic Suberites (Porifera: Demospongiae) fauna, pp. 50-70 in Zootaxa 5357 (1) on page 65, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5357.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/10012504 ...
