Notes: Orange, football shaped to crevice filling with lobate outgrowths; round oscules with a collar. Areas with fields of pores. Previous authors called it an orange morphotype of Agelas dispar (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864). It can be confused with small Agelas clathrodes (Schmidt, 1870), also pictured here. A. sventres usually has softer, cavernous lobes crown with holes or oscules. Spicules are acanthostyles.
