D. parasitica, which traditionally has been considered a parasite of Lubomirskiid sponges (gut analyses have shown that it is not[2]), was formerly placed in Brandtia, but it has been moved to Dorogostaiskia.[3] Other species formerly placed in Brandtia have been moved to Gmelinoides (G. fasciatus and G. fasciatoides).[1]
