Nomenclature note The name of the phylum Porifera was chosen from a large number of past alternative names for the phylum. Since the names of taxa above the family level are not guided by the Code of the ICZN, the name is dependent on a consensus of workers on the phylum. In the older literature other names may have reached popularity, so a non-exhaustive list is given here (but they are avoided in the WoRMS database with the argument of their status of 'disuse').Spongia Linnaeus, 1759; Pallas, 1766; Esper, 1794 Spongiaria Nardo, 1833 Amorphozoa Blainville, 1834; Johnston, 1842 Porifera Grant, 1836; Bowerbank, 1850, 1862; Vosmaer, 1887 Poriphera Grant, 1841 Porophora Hogg, 1841 Spongiae Hogg, 1842; Schmidt, 1862 Spongiadae Fleming, 1828; Nardo, 1843; Bowerbank, 1864 Poriphora Gray, 1867 Spongozoa Lütken, 1872 Spongida Carter, 1875 Spongiida Ridley, 1884 Mesodermalia Von Lendenfeld, 1888 [details]
