Insight into the evolutionary history of freshwater sponges: A new genus and new species of Spongillida (Porifera: Demospongiae) from Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Deccan intertrappean lacustrine deposits of the Malwa Group, Central India

New fossil freshwater sponges are recorded from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) intertrappean lacustrine sediments of Malwa Group associated with Deccan volcanic province in Central India.
