Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 26) explanation for the nomen novum: Removal of homonymy between Hyattella fenestrata (Lamarck, 1814), Smenospongia fenestrata (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864), and Spongia fenestrata Rao, 1941. 1. Spongia fenestrata Lamarck, 1814: 468 (type locality ‘Indian Ocean’). This species is the senior primary homonym of S. fenestrata Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864 and S. officinalis var. fenestrata Rao, 1941 (ICZN 57.2). It is considered a junior synonym of Hyattella sinusosa (Pallas, 1766) by Ridley (1884: 591) and Topsent (1933: 48). 2. Spongia fenestrata Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864: 36 (type locality St. Thomas, Eastern Caribbean). Spongia fenestrata Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864 was a junior primary homonym of S. fenestrata Lamarck, 1814, thus requiring a new name. However, homonymy was removed by the assignment of the first available synonym Smenospongia aurea (Hyatt, 1875) by Wiedenmayer (1977: 69) followed by Van Soest (1978: 20) (ICZN 57.2 & Art. 60.2). 3. Spongia officinalis var. fenestrata Rao, 1941: 455 (type locality Gulf of Manaar, India). Spongia officinalis var. fenestrata Rao, 1941 was a clear junior primary homonym of S. fenestrata Lamarck, 1814 and required a new name (ICZN Art. 60.1). 4. Summary: Hyattella fenestrata (Lamarck, 1814) is the senior primary homonym of Spongia fenestrata (ICZN Art. 57.2), but it is accepted as a junior synonym of Hyattella sinusosa (Pallas, 1766). Smenospongia fenestrata (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) was a junior primary synonym of Spongia fenestrata Lamarck, 1814 with homonymy removed by the first available junior synonym Smenospongia aurea (Hyatt, 1875) by Wiedenmayer (1977) (ICZN Art. 60.2). Spongia officinalis var. fenestrata Rao, 1941 was a junior primary homonym of S. fenestrata Lamarck, 1814, in the absence of synonyms requiring a new name (ICZN Art. 60.3), for which Spongia (Spongia) raoi nom. nov. was proposed, named after Srinivasa Rao.
