Anheteromeyenia is a genus of freshwater sponge.[2] It has been recorded in the Nearctic, the Neotropics.[3] This taxon was initially a subgenus of Heteromeyenia when K. Schöder circumscribed it in 1927, but W. M. de Laubenfels made it a genus in its own right in 1936.[4]

(As of 2018), WoRMS recognizes the following species:[5]

  • Anheteromeyenia argyrosperma (Potts, 1880)[6]
  • Anheteromeyenia cheguevarai Manconi & Pronzato, 2005[3]
  • Anheteromeyenia diamantina Calheira & Pinheiro, 2018[2]
  • Anheteromeyenia ornata (Bonetto & Ezcurra de Drago, 1970) Volkmer-Ribeiro, 1996[4]
  • Anheteromeyenia vitrea Buso & Volkmer-Ribeiro, 2012
