Homonymy This name is a junior primary homonym of Alcyonium papillosum Pallas, 1766 and thus needs to be replaced by a new name. Lamarck says the specimen was collected in the Indian Ocean by Péron & Lesueur (this would be likely a specimen from Australia), whereas Pallas' specimen was of unknown locality, but he suggested it resembled Marsigli's (1725) (Histoire physique de la mer. De'Pens, Amsterdam) 'Champignon de Mer' (on p. 86 and figured on Pl. 15 fig. 76 a), collected at Cassidaigne, French Mediterranean. Apart from the type specimen Lamarck also described a variety B which would be from Europe, with fewer papillae, similar to what was described by Ellis and Ellis & Solander as Spongia urens, and by Linnaeus, 1767 as Spongia tomentosa (the variety B thus would be like Halichondria panicea).
Topsent (1933: 36) under the heading Alcyonium papillosum stated that the Péron & Leseur specimen from the Indian Ocean ('le type') could not be found in the Lamarck collection, instead he found two specimens of the variety B, both apparently NOT conforming to what Lamarck wrote about this variety. He believed the two specimens were not from Europe and belonged to Phoriospongia (which he subsequently named Phoriospongia papillosa), and Hyattella (which he named Hyattella lamarcki). The latter was not from the Lamarck collection s.s., but was from Ambon and had a label written by Lucas (as 'Alc. papillosum var. b'). The Phoriospongia species cannot bear the name papillosa because junior primary homonyms must be replaced (ICZN art. 57.2). [details]

Additional information Topsent (1933), in his revision of Lamarck's specimen reported an additional specimen from Ambon labeled in Lucas' handwriting as Alcyonium papillosum var. beta, which is a Dictyoceratid, named Hyattella lamarcki by Topsent. This is now assigned to the synonymy of Hyattella sinuosa[details]
