Redescription
Scientific Name Notes Southwell (1925) synonomized Spongiobothrium Linton, 1889 with Anthobothrium Van Beneden, 1849 and thereby created the new combination Anthobothrium lintoni. (Southwell, 1912) Southwell, 1925. While this taxonomic decision was in error, the species in question, Spongiobothrium lintoni is at present incertae sedis.
