Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (202: 61) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Dysidea tubulata† Rutot, 1874 and Dysidea tubulata (Lehnert & Van Soest, 1998).
1. Dysidea? tubulata† Rutot, 1874: 66 (type locality Eocene strata near Brussels, Belgium). The description of the fossil material (without illustrations of the habitus, just some unidentifiable calcareous microfossils) throws some doubt on the membership of the genus Dysidea, but without subsequent studies the combination remains valid as a senior secondary homonym of D. tubulata (Lehnert & Van Soest, 1998) (ICZN Art. 57.3).
2. Hyrtios tubulatus Lehnert & Van Soest, 1998: 95 (type locality Discovery Bay, Jamaica). The species was originally described from dried material preventing proper recognition of the in situ features. Later, in situ specimens and chemistry (e.g. Salmoun et al. 2000: 452) made it likely that the species fits much better in Dysidea, and it is accordingly transferred here (but already mentioned in Shady et al. (2017: 2), and in the World Porifera Database) to Dysidea tubulata. It was later realized that the combination was already occupied by a fossil, creating a junior secondary homonym that needed to be replaced (ICZN Art. 60.3).
3. Summary: Dysidea tubulata Rutot, 1874 is to be maintained as a senior secondary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.3). Dysidea tubulata (Lehnert & Van Soest, 1998) as a junior secondary homonym needed to be replaced, for which Dysidea lehnerti nom. nov. was proosed, named after Helmut Lehnert (ICZN Art. 60.3).
