Description
Summary:Leucandra ananas sensu Jenkin 1908 Jenkin (1908: 444) reported this North Atlantic species, originally described by Montagu (1814: 96, as Spongia) from Zanzibar. The sponges were small and flask-shaped. The spicules included long diactines, 700–3000 x 28–46 µm, triactines of the cortex and the main skeleton 180–500 x 5–32 µm, tetractines with basal actines 170–280 x 6–20 µm, apical actines 50 x 6–9 µm. Possibly, one of the species of Schuffner (1877), e.g. L. echinata could fit with Jenkin’s specimens. ... : Published as part of Van, Rob W.
