Axinyssa terpnis
Taxonomy
This page represents the following TreeOfLife-200M taxonomic path.[1]
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Porifera
- Class: Demospongiae
- Order: Suberitida
- Family: Halichondriidae
- Genus: Axinyssa
- Species: Axinyssa terpnis
Visual Description
Specimens labeled Axinyssa terpnis in the dataset are represented by preserved museum material (invertebrate zoology) from the Yale Peabody Museum. The recorded image metadata indicate this species is currently represented as a museum specimen record in the GBIF-linked image archive. [2]
Species identity and nomenclature
GBIF lists Axinyssa terpnis as an accepted species name with authorship (de Laubenfels, 1954). GBIF also notes a basionym under Phycopsis (Phycopsis terpnis de Laubenfels, 1954). [2]
Notes on related chemical literature
A chemistry-focused Arkivoc (2002) study reports enantiospecific total synthesis of a thiocyanate-containing sesquiterpene ((-)-4-thiocyanatoneopupukeanane) associated in the historical literature with marine sponges. The paper’s background mentions Phycopsis terpnis among sponge sources of related isotwistane/neopupukeanane framework metabolites, but it does not provide taxonomic, morphological, or ecological information specifically for Axinyssa terpnis.
