Arturia adusta explained

Arturia adusta is a species of sea sponge in the family Clathrinidae found in Australia.^[1] The species was first described as Clathrina adusta by Gert Wörheide & John Hooper in 1999,^[2] and was assigned to the genus, Arthuria, in 2016 by Oliver Voigt & Wörheide.^{[3] [4]} However, the name Arthuria had already been used (for a mollusc) and hence the genus name was changed to Arturia.
