Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 51-52) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Geodia robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907, Geodia robusta (Von Lendenfeld, 1910) and Geodia robusta Lebwohl, 1914.
1. Geodia robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907: 333 (type locality Agulhas Bank, off South Africa). The name combination is accepted (e.g. Samaai 2006: 9, table 1) as a senior primary homonym of Lebwohl’s species, but there is an additional future senior secondary homonymy, viz. Stelletta bacillifera var. robusta Carter, 1883: 352 (accepted as Ancorina robusta), because Cárdenas et al. (2011, supporting figs S001, S002, and S003) demonstrated that this Southeast Australian species using molecular sequence data falls into the group of Geodia species lacking sterrasters. Cárdenas et al. (2011) have not yet published a formal reassignment
of Carter’s species, so we will refrain from further action here. Furthermore, Geodinella robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1910: 205, including 3 varieties megasterra, carolae, and megaclada, was reassigned to a single species Geodia robusta (Von Lendenfeld, 1910) by Stone et al. (2011: 45), apparently subsuming the varieties, although this was not expressly stated. This reassignment created a junior secondary homonym of G. robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907 and subsequently Stone et al. (2011) proposed the new name Geodia lendenfeldi to remove the homonymy. However, since there were three varieties created by Von Lendenfeld, the new name should have been taken from one of the varieties. Von Lendenfeld did not indicate which of the three varieties was the typical one, so it was indicated that the first mentioned, var. megasterra, is the typical variety and the objective bearer of the species name G. robusta (Von Lendenfeld, 1910), which was to be renamed var. robusta. The two other varieties were formally reassigned to G. robusta var. robusta as junior synonyms. ICZN Art. 23.3.5. and 60.2 determine that in case of replacement of
a junior homonym, the name of the oldest junior synonym is to be taken as the new name. Thus, Geodia carolae (Von Lendenfeld, 1910) (originally Geodia robusta var. carolae, p. 205) was proposed to remove the homonymy of Geodia robusta (Von Lendenfeld, 1910), with Geodia robusta var. megaclada (Von Lendenfeld, 1910) and Geodia lendenfeldi Stone et al., 2011 as junior synonyms.
2. Geodia reniformis var. robusta Lebwohl, 1914: 49 (type locality Yodomi, Japan). Lebwohl’s species is a junior primary homonym of Geodia robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907 and a junior secondary homonym of Geodia robusta (Von Lendenfeld, 1910), lacking clear synonyms, so the name needed to be replaced (ICZN Art. 60.3).
3. Summary: Geodia robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907 is the senior primary homonym and is to be maintained (ICZN Art. 57.2). Geodia robusta var. megasterra (Von Lendenfeld, 1910) is the typical variety to be renamed G. robusta var. robusta (Von Lendenfeld, 1910), and this is a junior secondary homonym of G. robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907. To remove the homonymy, Geodia carolae (Von Lendenfeld, 1910) was proposed as the eldest available junior synonym (ICZN Art. 23.3.5 & 60.1) as replacement. The previously proposed nomen novum, G. lendenfeldi Stone et al., 2011 was reassigned as a
junior synonym of Geodia carolae. Geodia robusta Lebwohl, 1914 is a junior primary homonym of Geodia robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907. To remove the homonymy Geodia lebwohli nom. nov. was proposed (ICZN Art. 60.3), named after F. Lebwohl. [details]
