• Axinella obtusa Lendenfeld, R. von 1888. Descriptive Catalogue of the Sponges in the Australian Museum, Sydney. London : Taylor & Francis 260 pp. 12 pls. [236] [unrecognisable; the holotype (now missing) was redescribed in Hallmann, E.F. 1914.

Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 39: 398–446 23 figs (428); of the 3 labels (extant alone in the jar), one (by Lendenfeld) reads 'Dictyocylindrus obtusa', the second (by Whitelegge) 'Axinella obtusa', the third (by Hallmann) 'Raspailia sp.. The ostensible type-specimen of Axinella inflata, Lendenfeld..'; the latter name is obviously an error].
