新西兰水域特有的单特异性海绵属simplectella最初被分配到Lyssacinosida目（Hexasterophora亚纲）中的Rossellidae科，尽管也注意到与Euplectellidae科的亲缘关系。78年后，根据相当主观的理由，该属被转移到Euplectellidae （Corbitellinae亚科）。在这里，我用分子系统发育的方法测试了这两个相互竞争的分类假设，并证明罗氏辛氏菌确实是一种rossellid，正如最初提出的那样。该属被正式转移回玫瑰科（玫瑰亚科），这代表着玻璃海绵向更自然的分类系统又迈出了一小步。
The monospecific hexactinellid sponge genus Symplectella endemic to New Zealand waters was originally assigned to family Rossellidae within the order Lyssacinosida (subclass Hexasterophora), although affinities to family Euplectellidae were also noted. Seventy-eight years later, the genus was transferred to Euplectellidae (subfamily Corbitellinae) on rather subjective grounds. Here, I test these two competing taxonomic hypotheses with molecular phylogenetic methods and demonstrate that Symplectella rowi is indeed a rossellid, as was originally suggested. The genus is officially transferred back to Rossellidae (subfamily Rossellinae), which represents another small step towards a more natural classification system of glass sponges.
