Distribution. WA, slope of North West Shelf, Sulu Sea, 450–690 m depth.
Remarks. Spongiaxius brucei is a large species with erect spines on the five gastric carinae, the carinae themselves separated by a constriction from the elevated rostrum surrounded by about 20 erect spines. The massive dactylus of the major cheliped is also distinctive. Unlike most axiids from deep water, numerous specimens have been taken, including more than those already reported in NTM collections.
