Macandrewia is a genus of sea sponges, and is the only genus in the monotypic family Macandrewiidae.
Species are cup-shaped, expanded, more or less sinuate or lobed. They are attached to the substrate by a more solid base. They are covered by a fleshy layer. It is supported by a siliceous cup-shaped axis. The upper surface is covered in of pores, which are grouped into roses which are surrounded by radiating grooves. The lower surface is non-porous. [1]
The following species are recognised: [2]
- Macandrewia auris Lendenfeld, 1907
- Macandrewia azorica Gray, 1859
- Macandrewia clavatella (Schmidt, 1870)
- Macandrewia minima Carvalho & Xavier, 2020
- Macandrewia ramosa Topsent, 1904
- Macandrewia rigida Lévi & Lévi, 1989
- Macandrewia robusta Topsent, 1904
- Macandrewia schusterae Carvalho & Xavier, 2020
- Macandrewia spinifoliata Lévi & Lévi, 1983
