Removal of homonymy between Haliclona (Gellius) varia (Bowerbank, 1875), Haliclona (Gellius) varia sensu Lundbeck, 1909 and Haliclona (Halichoclona) varia (Sarà, 1958).
1. Halichondria varia Bowerbank, 1875: 292 (type locality Malacca, Southeast Asia). This species is doubtless a Haliclona Grant, 1841: 5, although no recent redescriptions have been published under that name. Ridley (1884: 424, North Australia), Ridley & Dendy (1887: 38, Philippines) and Kirkpatrick (1900: 128, Christmas Island, Indian Ocean) assigned it to the genus Gellius Gray, 1867: 522, now recognized as a subgenus of Haliclona. It is the senior secondary homonym of two other varia species (ICZN Art. 57.3 & 57.4).
2. Gellius varius sensu Lundbeck, 1909: 433 (type locality Cape Tobin, East Greenland). The combination Halichondria varia has also been reported as Gellius varius from the Arctic by Lundbeck (1909: 433). Koltun (1959: 214) thought it to be unlikely to be the same species as the tropical shallow-water type material and ‘illegally’ conferred authorship of the Arctic specimens to Lundbeck (1909: 433), which in fact created a junior homonym. Koltun (l.c.) also named Gellius arcticus Hentschel, 1916: 12 as a junior synonym of Gellius varius, providing the opportunity to remove the homonymy with Bowerbank’s species. However, Gellius arcticus Hentschel, 1916 is also a junior secondary homonym of Reniera arctica Fristedt, 1887: 421 (q.v.). The proposed new name, Haliclona ernsti Van Soest & Hooper, 2020 for Gellius arcticus Hentschel, 1916, as junior synonym of Gellius varius sensu Lundbeck, 1909 also removed the homonymy between Haliclona (Gellius) varia (Bowerbank, 1875) and Koltun’s (1959) Haliclona (Gellius) varia sensu Lundbeck, 1909.
3. Adocia varia Sarà, 1958: 267 (type locality Gulf of Naples, Mediterranean). The genus Adocia Gray, 1867: 522 is a junior synonym of Haliclona Grant, 1841: 5. Adocia varia has been reassigned to the subgenus Haliclona (Haliclona) by De Weerdt (2000: 6). The species has oxeas approximately half the length of those of Haliclona (Gellius) varia Bowerbank and lacks sigmas. As a junior homonym it needed to be renamed (ICZN Art. 60.3).
4. Summary: Haliclona (Gellius) varia (Bowerbank, 1875) is to be maintained as senior secondary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.3 & 57.4). Haliclona (Gellius) varia (sensu Lundbeck, 1909) is a junior secondary homonym, which was removed by assigning it to the synonymy of Haliclona ernsti Van Soest & Hooper, 2020.
Haliclona (Haliclona) varia (Sarà, 1958) is a junior secondary homonym and required a new name, for which Haliclona (Haliclona) michelei nom. nov. was proposed, named after Michele Sarà (ICZN Art. 60.3). [details]

Removal of homonymy between Haliclona (Gellius) varia (Bowerbank, 1875), Haliclona (Gellius) varia sensu Lundbeck, 1909 and Haliclona (Halichoclona) varia (Sarà, 1958).
1. Halichondria varia Bowerbank, 1875: 292 (type locality Malacca, Southeast Asia). This species is doubtless a Haliclona Grant, 1841: 5, although no recent redescriptions have been published under that name. Ridley (1884: 424, North Australia), Ridley & Dendy (1887: 38, Philippines) and Kirkpatrick (1900: 128, Christmas Island, Indian Ocean) assigned it to the genus Gellius Gray, 1867: 522, now recognized as a subgenus of Haliclona. It is the senior secondary homonym of two other varia species (ICZN Art. 57.3 & 57.4).
2. Gellius varius sensu Lundbeck, 1909: 433 (type locality Cape Tobin, East Greenland). The combination Halichondria varia has also been reported as Gellius varius from the Arctic by Lundbeck (1909: 433). Koltun (1959: 214) thought it to be unlikely to be the same species as the tropical shallow-water type material and ‘illegally’ conferred authorship of the Arctic specimens to Lundbeck (1909: 433), which in fact created a junior homonym.

However, Gellius arcticus Hentschel, 1916 is also a junior secondary homonym of Reniera arctica Fristedt, 1887: 421 (q.v.). The proposed new name, Haliclona ernsti Van Soest & Hooper, 2020 for Gellius arcticus Hentschel, 1916, as junior synonym of Gellius varius sensu Lundbeck, 1909 also removed the homonymy between Haliclona (Gellius) varia (Bowerbank, 1875) and Koltun’s (1959) Haliclona (Gellius) varia sensu Lundbeck, 1909.
3. Adocia varia Sarà, 1958: 267 (type locality Gulf of Naples, Mediterranean). The genus Adocia Gray, 1867: 522 is a junior synonym of Haliclona Grant, 1841: 5. Adocia varia has been reassigned to the subgenus Haliclona (Haliclona) by De Weerdt (2000: 6). The species has oxeas approximately half the length of those of Haliclona (Gellius) varia Bowerbank and lacks sigmas. As a junior homonym it needed to be renamed (ICZN Art. 60.3).

Haliclona (Gellius) varia (sensu Lundbeck, 1909) is a junior secondary homonym, which was removed by assigning it to the synonymy of Haliclona ernsti Van Soest & Hooper, 2020.
Haliclona (Haliclona) varia (Sarà, 1958) is a junior secondary homonym and required a new name, for which Haliclona (Haliclona) michelei nom. nov. was proposed, named after Michele Sarà (ICZN Art. 60.3). [details]
