Removal of homonymy between Amphilectus compressus (Bowerbank, 1875) and Crella (Grayella) compressa (Carter, 1886).
1. Halichondria compressa Bowerbank, 1875: 291 (type locality Straits of Malacca). Halichondria compressa Bowerbank, 1875 is a senior primary homonym of Halichondria compressa Carter, 1886 (ICZN Art. 57.2). It has never been illustrated, so we can only deduce its probable identification from Bowerbank’s (1875: 291) original description and Vosmaer’s (1880: 112) subsequent reassignment as Amphilectus compressus. The allocation of Bowerbank’s species to Clathria Schmidt, 1862 by the World Porifera Database (2019) (which would yield a further secondary homonymy with Clathria compressa Schmidt, 1862: 58) is likely to be incorrect since the descriptions indicate only 2 categories of smooth styles-subtylostyles are present, in bundles on the surface but more sparse in the interior, and 2 forms of bidentate to tridentate isochelae, the smaller of which has unguiferous alae. No other published assignments have been ventured, so supporting Vosmaer’s allocation to Amphilectus is currently the only course available to us, although membership of Amphilectus is debatable. At least, homonymy with Clathria compressa Schmidt is avoided.
2. Halichondria compressa Carter, 1886: 450 (type locality Bass Strait, Australia). Originally described as Halichondria compressa Carter, 1886, subsequently nominated the type species of Pseudoclathria Dendy, 1897, the genus was synonymized with Crella (Grayella) Carter, 1869 by Van Soest (2002: 559–560). Crella (Grayella) compressa is a junior primary homonym, which in the absence of synonyms needs to be renamed (ICZN Art, 57.2).
3. Summary: Amphilectus compressus (Bowerbank, 1875) is the senior primary homonym (ICZN 57.2) and is to be maintained, although the species is incertae sedis. Crella (Grayella) compressa (Carter, 1886c) is a junior primary homonym, which in the absence of synonyms needs to be renamed (ICZN Art. 57.2, 60.3). To remove the homonymy, Crella (Grayella) carteri nom. nov. was proposed, named after Henry John Carter. [details]
