Heteropia is a genus of sponges in the family Heteropiidae,[1] and was first described in 1886 by Henry John Carter.

[1][2] The type species by monotypy is Heteropia ramosa (Carter, 1886), which he first called Aphroceras ramosa in the very same publication.

[3] GBIF with just 37 georeferenced specimens in this genus, shows it having perhaps a world-wide distribution.

[4] The Australian Faunal Directory shows as being found on/off the coast of Western Australia, in the IMCRA regions of Central Western Shelf Transition, Central Western Shelf Province, Northwest Province, and the Central Western Transition.
