Sollasellidae Lendenfeld (Demospongiae, Hadromerida) comprises a single Australian species, Sollasella digitata Lendenfeld, 1888. This species is ramose with branches having in cross section a three-layered skeleton consisting of a cortical region of brushes of megascleres, a subcortical region of low spicular density and an axial core of confused spicules and spicule bundles. Its status among Hadromerida is incertae sedis, but closest relatives appear to be Polymastiidae, Suberitidae and Stylocordylidae.
