It should not be confused with BarraGrande municipality at Maraú Peninsula, Bahia State.(2) Sollas (1888: 234) stated the collection site of Synopsvosmaeri as being “Station 122, Off Barra Grande,September 10, 1873; lat. 9°5’S., long. 34°50’W; depth,350 fathoms”, but in page 356 he stated the localityas “Station 122c. Off Barra Grande, Brazil, September10, 1873; lat. 9°10’ S., long. 34°49’W; depth, 400 fathoms”.Herein we consider the first locality as the correctone. (3) Santos et al. (2002b) erroneously reportedthis species from Pernambuco State. (4) We preferrednot to follow here the classification of the SystemaPorifera as Sidonops neptuni because the distinctionof Geodia and Sidonops is based only on the type ofinhalant and exhalant orifices (uniporal vs. cribriporal;Uriz, 2002b), which can be difficult to determine insome cases.K Geodia papyracea Hechtel, 1965Geodia (Cydonium) papyracea Hechtel, 1965: 71; Hechtel,1976: 242.Geodia sp., Burton, 1940: 97 (cf.
