Racekiela ryderi is a species of freshwater demosponge in the family Spongillidae.[1] It was first described by Edward Potts in 1882.[2]

A freshwater sponge collected on Sable Island in 1899 by John Macoun, a biologist with the Geological Survey of Canada, and given the name Heteromeyenia macouni by A.H. Mackay in 1900,[3] is now considered to be Racekiela ryderi.[4]
