Note: A. caliginosa and A. trapezoides are regarded either as subspecies (Sims & Gerard 1985; VsevolodovaPerel 1997) or as distinct species (Blakemore 2009; Pérez-Losada et al. 2009, Fernández et al. 2012). It is known that these two taxa are genetically distinct, so we accept the latter viewpoint.

Eisenia nordenskioldi

description: Eisenia nordenskioldi (Eisen)
Eisenia nordenskioldi: Syamyonava & Anisimava 1992: 110; Maksimova & Mukhin 2016: 57.
Widespread in Siberia, also found in eastern Europe. Epi-endogeic.
Distribution (Fig. 3b):
Mogilev Reg.: Cherikov Distr., Cherikov Reserve; Klichev Distr., near Klichev, floodplain biogeocenosis, 3 ex.
Note: E. nordenskioldi gets rare in the western part of its distribution, so it is hard to tell where the western boundary of this species is. According to Vsevolodova-Perel (1997), it lies at about 34 ºE and thus well east of Belarus. The locations mentioned in Syamyonava and Anisimava (1992) and Maksimova (2016) were examined by us, and this species was not found. It is well possible that the findings of E. nordenskioldi were the result of misidentification, but we cannot rule out the possibility that this species can be found in Belarus, albeit in very low numbers.

Zoobank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 7F1DD58A-C896-4DF1-9DDC-817B4D30E400.
Type species: Janusya indica sp. nov.
Etymology: The new genus is dedicated to Jean Vacelet, who is affectionately known as Janus, in recognition for all his work on Porifera, including calcareous sponges.
Diagnosis: Calcinea in which the cormus comprises a typical clathroid body. A stalk may be present. The skeleton contains regular (equiangular and equiradiate) or subregular triactines and tetractines. Tetractines are less abundant than triactines, sometimes even rare, but they always have needle-like apical actines. Diactines may be added. The aquiferous system is asconoid.

(FIGS 5, 6; TABLE 2)
Zoobank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 79DA23AC-B3EE-42B0-8BB3-1DA5F592AF9A.
Etymology: Named in reference to the type locality located in the Indian Ocean.
Diagnosis: Yellowish to beige Janusya in which the cormus is incrusting to globulose, formed by regular and tightly anastomosed tubes with long, apical, water-collecting tube. The skeleton contains fusiform diactines, trichoxeas, triactines and rare tetractines.
Type locality: Passe de l’Hermitage, La Réunion, Indian Ocean.
Type material: Holotype – UFRJPOR 8945 (= 171109- PAE2 - TP20). Paratype – UFRJPOR 8932 (= 171109- PAE2 - TP6). Passe de l’Hermitage Reef, La Réunion, Indian Ocean, coll. T. Pérez, 9 November 2017, 18– 20 m depth.

Colour: Sponge yellowish beige in life (Fig. 5A, B) and light brown in ethanol (Fig. 5C, D).
Morphology and anatomy: Sponge incrusting to globulose (Fig. 5). Cormus clathroid, formed by regular and tightly anastomosed tubes (Fig. 5). One or few apical oscula, surrounded by membrane (Fig. 5A). The osculum is a long water-collecting tube, i.e. a larger tube with osculum that receives the water from several other thinner tubes. Underneath the osculum of globulose specimens, there is a cavity that is not lined by a continuous membrane. Cells with yellow granules are present and distributed homogeneously in the mesohyl of the specimens UFRJPOR 8945 and UFRJPOR 8932 (Fig. 6A, B, respectivelly). The aquiferous system is asconoid and the skeleton is composed of diactines, trichoxeas, triactines and rare tetractines (Fig. 6C–F).

Colour: White in life and light brown or grey in ethanol (Fig. 11A, B).
Morphology and anatomy: Sponge formed by ramified tubes with few anastomoses and no water-collecting tubes (Fig. 11A, B).

The skeleton is composed of diactines, two size categories of triactines and tetractines. The larger triactines are rare. Diactines lie perpendicular to the tubes. The small triactines are the most abundant spicules (Fig. 11D).

Diagnosis: Leucandra with spined microdiactines in the cortical and in the atrial skeletons. The cortical microdiactines are frequently organized forming bouquets. Large cortical diactines are also present, along with cortical triactines. The choanosome contains regular triactines and sagittal triactines and tetractines. The atrial skeleton has microdiactines with spines and tetractines.
Etymology: From the Latin ornatum, ornate or decorated, for the presence of many diactines on the surface of this species.
Type locality: Cap La Houssaye Reef, La Réunion, Indian Ocean.
Ty p e m a t e r i a l: H o l o t y p e – U F R J P O R 8 9 2 8 (= 171108- CAH2 -TP2, Photos: TP5973–5975). Cap La Houssaye Reef, La Réunion, Indian Ocean, coll. T. Pérez, 8 November 2017, 10 m depth.
Colour: White alive (Fig. 22A) and after fixation (Fig. 22B).
Morphology and anatomy: Sponge vase-shaped with apical osculum surrounded by a crown of trichoxeas (Figs 22A, B, 24A) supported by sagittal triactines and tetractines (Fig. 23A). Surface hispid because of several large diactines protruding through the surface (Figs 22A, B, 23C, 24B). The aquiferous system is leuconoid. The cortical skeleton is composed of tangential triactines, large diactines and microdiactines protruding through the surface (Figs 22A, B, 23C, D, 24C). The cortical microdiactines form bouquets or lie tangentially to the cortex (Figs 23D, 24C). The choanosome contains large and small triactines. These small triactines are found spread in the choanosome or surrounding the canals, although tetractines are the main spicules in the canals (Fig. 23E). The atrial skeleton is composed of tetractines and microdiactines tangential to the atrium (Figs 23F, 24D).

description: GENUS UTE SCHMIDT, 1862
Type species: Ute glabra Schmidt, 1864.
Diagnosis: ‘ Grantiidae with syconoid organization. The cortex is supported by giant longitudinal diactines, and the choanoskeleton is articulated, composed of several rows of triactines with occasional tetractines. There are no radial fascicles of diactines’ (Borojević et al., 2002).

Type locality: Bijoutier Island, Amirantes, Seychelles, Indian Ocean.
Colour: This species can have several colours (Fig. 26). Some were mostly pink but white at the base (UFRJPOR 8925; Fig. 26A) or white with a pink sponge budding (UFRJPOR 8929) or even lemonyellow (UFRJPOR 8938; Fig. 26B), white but pink near the osculum (UFRJPOR 8942) or completely white (UFRJPOR 8943, 8948; Fig. 26C). They all become beige in ethanol (Fig. 26D).
Morphology and anatomy: Sponge with a shape of vase with one single apical osculum surrounded by a crown of trichoxeas and with a delicate sphincter (Fig. 26A–D). The crown is supported by T-shape triactines (Fig. 27A). Frequently there are sponges budding from another and they keep connected to each other (Fig. 26D). Surface smooth, covered by huge longitudinal diactines (Fig. 27B–D). These diactines protrude through the surface near the osculum (Fig. 27A). The surface is perforated by ostia surrounded by tiny curved triactines, giving a honeycomb appearance to it (Fig. 27C, D). The aquiferous system is syconoid (Fig. 27B). The cortical skeleton is composed of the giant longitudinal diactines and by the tiny triactines of the ostia (Fig. 27C). Below, the articulated tubar skeleton is composed of triactines pointing their unpaired actine to the surface (Fig. 27D, E). The subatrial skeleton has triactines and few tetractines and the atrial skeleton has only tetractines (Fig. 27E). The atrium is hispid (Fig. 27E, F).
