Taxonomy This entry is made to indicate that the many records of Ircinia fasciculata of various authors following Vacelet's (1959) seminal publication on the keratose sponges of the Mediterranean are probably not conspecific with Ircinia fasciculata sensu Pallas, 1766. The latter name is virtually a nomen nudum as Pallas failed to provide sufficient evidence for its true identity and no type material has survived. The Pallas species has been suggested to be a Sarcotragus rather than an Ircinia by Pronzato et al. 2004, but this species remains unidentified in a modern context. See also Pronzato & Manconi, 2011 (p.305-306) in Fauna d'Italia. [details]
