Validity This ‘genus’ was erected under the rules of the Phylocode, which does not recognize ranks or type species. The ‘definition’ of Arenospicula is quoted from the original paper: ‘(nomen cladi novum, stem-based) The most inclusive clade containing Arenosclera brasiliensis Muricy & Ribeiro, 1999, A. amazonensis Leal et al., 2017, and A. klausi Leal et al., 2017’. The ‘genus’ name is here considered unavailable. These species are to be reverted to genus Arenosclera Pulitzer-Finali, 1982. Phylocode and Linnean classifications show fundamental differences. The WPD and WoRMS have committed themselves to the latter. [details]
