From editor or global species database
Synonymy The forma was described by Czerniavsky from Suchumi, Russian coast of the Black Sea, approximate coordinates 42.98°N 41.02°E, depth 1.5–2 m (holotype ZIN-RAS 11426). The genus Pellina Schmidt, 1870 is a junior synonym of Halichondria Fleming, 1828 (see Erpenbeck & Van Soest 2002: 803). Pellina longispicula Czerniavsky, 1880 is a possible endemic species of the Black Sea with oxea lengths of 400–540 x 9–16 μm. The differences of the present forma from the typical forma (f. longispicula) and f. tahanrohensis appear entirely unclear. All three are from nearby localities in the northern Black Sea. Van Soest (2024: 82) proposed to merge the formae, including the present, into a single species to be named Halichondria (Halichondria) longispicula (Czerniavsky, 1880). [details]
