Nomenclature The name of this variety is to be changed to S. inconstans var. inconstans Dendy, 1887 as Van Soest (2024: 77) indicated it as the nominotypical variety which must bear the same name as the species (ICZN art. 46-47). The present nominotypical variety and the var. maeandrina Dendy, 1887 (q.v.) were proposed to be merged into a single taxon, as the differences between the two are negligible, and the locality of the two is the same (Rameswaram Island, Gulf of Mannar, approximate coordinates 13.08°N 80.3°E, lectotype BMNH 1887.8.4.2, one paralectotype in the Madras Museum, now Government Museum, Chennai, cf. Vosmaer 1911: 18). The species encompassing varieties globosa and meandrina are junior synonyms of the species Spheciospongia inconstans (Dendy, 1887). [details]
