Abstract Acanthochaetetes specimens from the Coniacian brecciated limestones near Vera de Bidasoa (Northern Spain) are described. It is the first report of acanthochaetetids from Coniacian strata. The specimens are very small and probably lived in fissures and crevices in fore-reef breccias and deep water mud mounds. The family Acanthochaetetidae Fischer is placed in the order Hadromerida (Tetractinomorpha, Demospongiae). The order Tabulospongida Hartman & Goreau was abandoned.
