Classification The generic identity of this species has been subjected to divergence of opinions: Dendy (1889) assigned the species to genus Siphonochalina, followed by Burton (1926), but some years later Burton (1934) assigned it to Adocia, Desqueyroux-Faúndez (1984) to Callyspongia, but in the Systema Porifera Desqueyroux-Faúndez & Valentine (2002) reassigned it to Siphonochalina. Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994) assigned the (type) species, Tubulodigitus communis to Callyspongia bullata as a junior synonym. The present assignment as an accepted Callyspongia (Euplacella) species is mostly based on Desqueyroux-Faúndez's (1984) description and figures, which would indicate it as a member of subgenus Euplacella. A major problem for assigning the genus and species is that the holotype of Carter is lost and the neotype assigned by Burton is Dendy's Gulf of Mannaar specimen. [details]
