- ? Mycale (Arenochalina) anomala (Ridley & Dendy, 1886) Esperella anomala Ridley & Dendy, 1886: 341 (not: Parisociella anomala; sensu Burton 1952). Mycale (Arenochalina) anomala; Van Soest & Hajdu 2002: 678. Summary description. Digitate and irregularly ramose sponge, size up to 12.5 cm long and 6 mm thick. The skeleton is a rectangularly meshed system of cored spongin fibres. Megascleres subtylostyles of about 250 x 5 μm. There are scarce and very small?isochelae only, although Burton (1952) insists there are toxas. Distribution. Honolulu, Hawaii, depth 20– 30 m. Comment. See above in remarks of M. (Ar.) aff. tenuispiculata. Whether this is really a Mycale (Arenochalina) should be demonstrated by re-examination of the type specimens (BMNH 1887.5.2.165) and extensive (SEM-)studies. The status of this species is illustrative for the morphological problems posed by members of the subgenus.
