Homonymy The species was described by Topsent from N of the Azores, Prince Albert 1er Monaco Cruises Stat. 1420, 42.8833°–42.9°N 28.5125°W, depth 2460 m (syntype five specimens in MOM, slides in MNHN). The combination is a junior secondary homonym of Suberites hirsutus (Fleming, 1828: 522, as Halichondria). Johnston (1841: 138, pl. XVI fig. 1) redescribed Fleming’s species and provided a drawing of the habitus, but this is by no means certain to be of the same species. Johnston’s description and drawing (here reproduced as Fig. 9J is based on a fresh specimen with a papillate surface and monactinal spicules. No type material has been identified. Fleming’s description is made from a dried thin crust from Shetland with spicules of unknown shape protruding beyond the surface, but he also referred to Cordiner’s (1788) unrecognizable drawings (his fig. 27, erroneously indicated as fig. 24 by Fleming) and description from a sponge from the shore of Banff, Scotland. The reassignment of Fleming’s species to Suberites is based entirely on Johnston’s subsequent redescription which was presented between two recognized Suberites species (Suberites virgultosus and S. suberia), and this is likely a misapplication. For that reason, Van Soest (2024: 87) proposed to maintain Suberites hirsutus Topsent, 1927 as a valid species, not in need of a replacement name, and to revert Fleming’s species to Halichondria hirsuta as a taxon inquirendum.
