Taxonomy
Calcarea was named by Bowerbank (1864) [rank changed from class to phylum to allow synonymy with Calcispongea of Zrzavy et al. 1998. Reassigned to a class by Finks et al. (2004)]. It is extant.
It was synonymized subjectively with Calcispongea by Zrzavy et al. (1998); it was replaced with Calcispongiae by Senowbari-Daryan and Rigby (2015).
It was assigned to Metazoa by Edgecombe et al. (2011); to Euradiculata by Nielsen (2012); and to Porifera by Sepkoski (2002), Finks et al. (2004), Skovsted (2006), Worheide et al. (2012), Vacelet (2015).
