Citronia is a genus of sea sponges in the family Dysideidae. It consists of one species, Citronia vasiformis (Bergquist, 1995), which Bergquist originally described as Euryspongia vasiformis,[2][3] from a specimen found in the Baie de Citrons, New Caledonia at a depth of 8 to10 m.[2]
In Australia it is found in waters off the Queensland coast.[4]
