Phorbas fictitius (Bowerbank, 1866)
Phorbas fictitius (Bowerbank, 1866)
Description Sardegna (Italy)

<i>Phorbas topsenti</i> sp.nov. closely resembles by its field characters two sponges of the same family, <i>Phorbas fictitius</i> (Bowerbank, 1866) and <i>Hamigera hamigera</i> (Schmidt, 1862). The three sponges are clearly distinct by their spiculation, the major differences being the presence of tornotes instead of strongyles in <i>P. fictitius</i<, and the absence of true acanthostyles in <i>H. hamigera</i> . However, they are extremely difficult to distinguish in the field.
