Abstract The taxonomic validity, present distribution, and specific threats to the existence of the freshwater sponge, Anheteromeyenia biceps (Lindenschmidt, 1950) were investigated. The species, reported only from the type locality, Bessey Creek and Maple River, two streams flowing into Douglas Lake, Michigan, is relegated to synonomy with Ephydatia mülleri. Habitat data from Bessey Creek and Maple River, particularly physicochemical data, greatly extend the known environmental parameters of Heteromeyenia tubisperma and Ephydatia mülleri.
