Removal of homonymy between Spongia turbinata Vio in Olivi, 1792 andSpongia turbinata Lamarck, 1814.
1. Spongia turbinata Vio in Olivi, 1792: xxvi (type locality Gulf of Smirna, Aegean Sea). The specimen from the Turkish Mediterranean is not recognizable with any certainty as no material survived. Its description in Latin runs in translation: “A turbinate soft sponge with ovate openings, tapering longitudinally to the bottom”. An expanded description follows describing its tenacity and skeleton of fibers. The figures in Pl. VIII figs 5–7 make it likely it belongs to the Keratosa and is possibly Fasciospongia cavernosa (Schmidt, 1862: 28), but there is no proof. The skeleton apparently is built as a ladder-like fiber-system with fibers containing inclusions. This name combination is ignored in the literature, so if it would have to be assigned to Fasciospongia cavernosa that name would have to be suppressed as a nomen oblitum under ICZN Art. 23.9.2.
2. Spongia turbinata Lamarck, 1814: 385 (type locality ‘American Seas’). No material has survived and it is not recognizable with any certainty. Translated: “It is not campanulate like the preceding one (i.e. Spongia campana = Ircinia campana), but it forms a very elongated, rather narrow, stiff and very simple funnel. Its fibers are slightly encrusted, stiff though very thin, and partly uncovered especially outside. Its inner limb is striated longitudinally, and the rest of its internal walls are dotted with osculiferous mounds, ‘sublacinized’ (sic). Length 5 decimetres and more.” Lamarck’s comparison with Ircinia campana could be construed as an indication that his S. turbinata is also attributable to Ircinia. Although Ircinia campana occasionally shows more funnel-like shapes, they usually are widely flaring. In the absence of a specimen or image, it would be unwarranted to assign the name to the synonymy of Ircinia campana. As a junior primary homonym, however, the combination needs to be renamed (ICZN Art. 60.3).
3. Summary: Spongia turbinata Vio in Olivi, 1892 is to be maintained as a senior primary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.2). Spongia turbinata Lamarck, 1814 is a junior primary homonym, which was proposed to be renamed (ICZN Art. 60.3) as Spongia jeanbaptistei nom. nov., named after Jean Baptiste Lamarck.
