Validity This ‘genus’ was erected under the rules of the Phylocode, which does not recognize ranks or type species. The ‘definition’ of Dactyloclona is quoted from the original paper: ‘(nomen cladi novum, stem-based) The most inclusive clade containing Dactylia varia (Gray, 1843) and Haliclona curacaoensis Van Soest, 1980)’. The ‘genus’ name is here considered unavailable. These species are to be reverted to the genera from which they were taken (Dactylia Carter, 1885 and Haliclona Grant, 1841). Phylocode and Linnean classifications show fundamental differences.The WPD and WoRMS have committed themselves to the latter. [details]
