'''''Staurocalyptus''''' is a genus of sponge. It was circumscribed in 1897 by Isao Ijima.<ref name="Ijima, 1897" />
==Taxonomy== thumb|''S. pleorhaphides'' Ijima circumscribed ''Staurocalyptus'' as a genus in the family Rossellidae. His initial taxonomy included three newly described species and two transferred from ''Rhabdocalyptus''.<ref name="Ijima, 1897" /> Ijimi did not designate a type species; in 1967 V. M. Koltun designated ''Rhabdocalyptus dowlingi'' {{small|Lambe, 1893}} 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'' {{small|Ijima, 1897}}.<ref name="Tabachnick, 2002" /> However, {{as of|2017|lc=y}}, WoRMS still classifies ''Staurocalyptus'' as a genus and follows Koltun's type species designation, not that of Tabachnick.<ref name=WoRMS />
==Distribution== Its species are found in the Pacific Ocean, at a depth of {{convert|30|–|1700|m}}.<ref name="Tabachnick, 2002" />
==Species== {{As of|2017}}, WoRMS recognizes the following seventeen species:<ref name=WoRMS /> * ''Staurocalyptus affinis'' {{small|Ijima, 1904}} * ''Staurocalyptus celebesianus'' {{small|IIjima, 1927}} * ''Staurocalyptus dowlingi'' {{small|(Lambe, 1893) Ijima, 1897}} * ''Staurocalyptus entacanthus'' {{small|Ijima, 1904}} * ''Staurocalyptus fasciculatus'' {{small|Schulze, 1899}} * ''Staurocalyptus fuca'' {{small|Tabachnick, 1989}} * ''Staurocalyptus glaber'' {{small|Ijima, 1897}} * ''Staurocalyptus hamatus'' {{small|Lendenfeld, 1915}} * ''Staurocalyptus heteractinus'' {{small|Ijima, 1897}} * ''Staurocalyptus microchetus'' {{small|Ijima, 1898}} * ''Staurocalyptus pleorhaphides'' {{small|Ijima, 1897}} * ''Staurocalyptus psilosus'' {{small|Reiswig & Stone, 2013}} * ''Staurocalyptus roeperi'' {{small|(Schulze, 1886) Ijima, 1897}} * ''Staurocalyptus rugocruciatus'' {{small|Okada, 1932}} * ''Staurocalyptus solidus'' {{small|Schulze, 1899}} * ''Staurocalyptus tubulosus'' {{small|Ijima, 1904}} * ''Staurocalyptus tylotus'' {{small|Reiswig & Stone, 2013}}
