Original Description
The genus Spongolena opens the series of the Spongobrachida, or of the Spongodiscida provided with radial spongy arms on the margin of the disk. Spongolena is the most simple form of this subfamily, and bears only two simple opposite arms, without a connecting patagium. It corresponds to Amphibrachium (Porodiscida) and to Diplactura (Coccodiscida). Also there is no patagium. Spongolena may easily be confounded with Spongurus (compare my Prodromus, 1881, p.461); but in the true Spongurus (an ellipsoid) the transverse section is circular, in Spongolena elliptical.
