Nomenclature Here we cite Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 22) explanation for the proposed nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Haliclona densa (Von Lendenfeld, 1887) and Haliclona densa sensu (Carter, 1887).
1. Chalinorhaphis densa Von Lendenfeld, 1887: 822 (type locality Port Jackson, New South Wales, Australia). Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994: 121) declared that Chalinorhaphis densa Von Lendenfeld, 1887: 822 was incertae sedis, being unrecognisable from the original description. They cite an unpublished Burton manuscript in the NHM London that notes the species was “a possible haplosclerid, possibly a Haliclona sp.” Re-examination of the holotype in the BMNH (NHM) and microscope slide in the AM Sydney would be required to verify this, assuming that it was not damaged beyond identification (as Burton (1927: 289) noted that many of the specimens described by Von Lendenfeld (1887) were beach-worn or otherwise damaged and unrecognisable). Chalinorhaphis Von Lendenfeld, 1887 was first synonymised with Haliclona by Burton (1934: 529). Subsequently it was synonymized with Petrosia (Petrosia) by Desqueyroux-Faúndez & Valentine (2002: 912), but this was based only on its type species, C. armata Von Lendenfeld, 1887, and the authors also noted that their synonymy was tentative. The other two new species of Chalinorhaphis described by Von Lendenfeld (1887), C. paucispina and C. digitata, were allocated to Callyspongia and Haliclona respectively (Hooper & Wiedenmayer 1994: 532 & 115). Irrespective of the true affinities of C. densa Von Lendenfeld, 1887, we designate it here as Haliclona densa (Von Lendenfeld, 1887) because its description conforms to the genus Haliclona.
2. Isodictya densa sensu Carter, 1887: 69–70 (type locality Mergui Archipelago, Andaman Sea). Carter (1887: 70) erroneously (biogeographically) attributed his specimen ‘no. 71’ from the Andaman Sea to Isodictya densa Bowerbank, 1866: 292 the latter from Celtic Seas = Haliclona (Haliclona) simulans (Johnson, 1842), cf. De Weerdt (1986: 97). Isodictya densa sensu Carter, 1887 thus being a Haliclona, and highly unlikely to be the same species as the Northeast Atlantic species described by Bowerbank, is then a potential homonym of Haliclona densa (Von Lendenfeld, 1887). Technically, Carter’s Isodictya (= Haliclona) densa concerns a misapplication rather than a homonym. Not being conspecific with Bowerbank’s species a new name for it is warranted, which will remove a threatening homonymy with Chalinorhaphis densa Von Lendenfeld, 1887. In further support of renaming Carter’s Isodictya densa is the fact that Von Lendenfeld’s description of Chalinoraphis densa (published on 15 September 1887, see contents of Zoologische Jahrbücher vol. II, p. IV) was published after Carter’s Isodictya densa (published 21 March 1887, see contents of Journal of Linnean Society vol. 21, pp. ii–iv). If Carter’s name would be maintained as Haliclona densa, then Von Lendenfeld’s Haliclona would become a junior secondary homonym, which then would need to be renamed.
3. Summary: Chalinorhaphis densa Von Lendenfeld, 1887, transferred to Haliclona following Burton’s (1934) designation of Von Lendenfeld’s Chalinohaphis as junior synonym of Haliclona, is maintained as its homonymy with Haliclona densa (sensu Carter, 1887) is removed by renaming Carter’s combination as a misapplication of Bowerbank’s Isodictya densa.
Isodictya densa Bowerbank, 1866 was synonymised with Haliclona (Haliclona) simulans (Johnson, 1842), removing the homonymy with Von Lendenfeld’s species, whereas Isodictya densa sensu Carter, 1887 is a different species, requiring a new name.
