Homonymy This combination is a junior secondary homonym of Hymeniacidon fragilis Bowerbank, 1866. However, since Bowerbank's species is a junior synonym of Halichondria (Halichondria) panicea, having exclusively oxeas as spicules, the homonymy is removed (cf. ICZN art. 59.2). No new name is required. [details]
