Nomenclature We cite here the explanation for the nomen novum provided by Van Soest et al. 2020: 12–13.
Removal of homonymy between Spongia bombicina Olivi, 1792 and Spongia bombycina Lamark, 1814.
1. Spongia bombicina Olivi, 1792: 265 (type locality Adriatic, Mediterranean). Although the identity of Spongia bombicina Olivi, 1792 is a taxon inquirendum (World Porifera Database 2019) it remained the senior primary homonym of Spongia bombycina Lamarck, 1814 (ICZN Art. 57.2), which is also incertae sedis.
2. Spongia bombycina Lamarck, 1814: 378 (type locality South Australia). Olivi’s (1792: 265) and Lamarck’s (1814: 378) species names are homonyms in the sense of ICZN Article 58.2., despite differences in 1 letter of their species names, and both species are considered incertae sedis. The type material of Spongia bombycina Lamarck, 1814 is missing from the MNHN Paris (Topsent 1933: 48), reconfirmed by Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994: 528), so its identity cannot be checked, but it remains a junior homonym of Spongia bombicina Olivi, 1792 and needed to be replaced (ICZN Art. 60.3).
3. Summary: Spongia bombicina Olivi, 1792 (incertae sedis) is to be maintained as the senior primary homonym of Spongia bombycina Lamarck, 1814, even though both are taxa inquirenda (ICZN Art. 57.2 & 58.2). Spongia bombycina Lamarck, 1814 (incertae sedis) is a junior primary homonym of Spongia bombicina Olivi, 1792 and in the absence of a synonym required a new name, for which Spongia lamarcki nom. nov. (incertae sedis) was proposed, named after Jean Baptiste de Lamarck (ICZN Art. 57.2, 58.2 & 60.3). [details]
