Fig. 1A, G, H View Fig .
Material.—Upper Eocene, south-central Ukraine.
Remarks.—The flat, ellipsoidal spicules called aspidasters ( Fig. 1A, G, H View Fig ) are characteristic for geodiid Erylus Gray, 1867 (subfamily Erylinae Sollas, 1888 ; compare Adams and Hooper 2001: fig. 3I). Also other spicules ( Fig. 5E, M) and some of the aspidasters (e.g., Fig. 1H View Fig ), could belong to some other erylinin sponges e.g., Pachymatisma monaena Lendenfeld, 1907 (compare Lendenfeld 1907: pl. 35: 21–46). However, this assignment is highly speculative.
