''Staurocalyptus'' is a genus of sponge. It was circumscribed in 1897 by Isao Ijima. Taxonomy Ijima circumscribed ''Staurocalyptus'' as a genus in the family Rossellidae. His initial taxonomy included three newly described species and two transferred from ''Rhabdocalyptus''. Ijimi did not designate a type species; in 1967 V. M. Koltun designated ''Rhabdocalyptus dowlingi'' as the type species. A 2002 revision of Rossellidae by K. R. Tabachnick demoted ''Staurocalyptus'' to be a subgenus of ''Acanthascus'' and designated a new type species: ''Staurocalyptus glaber'' . However, , WoRMS still classifies ''Staurocalyptus'' as a genus and follows Koltun's type species designation, not that of Tabachnick. Distribution Its species are found in the Pacific Ocean, at a depth of .
