Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 46-47) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Geodia pyriformis (Vosmaer, 1882) and Geodia piriformis Bösraug. 1913.
1. Synops pyriformis Vosmaer, 1882: 20 (type locality near Hammerfest, Norway). The species was recently reassigned to the synonymy of Geodia phlegraei (Sollas, 1880: 397) by Cárdenas et al. (2013: 285). The original name is nevertheless a senior secondary homonym of Geodia poculata var. piriformis Bösraug, 1913 (see below), because the names pyriformis and piriformis are variant spellings deemed identical (ICZN Art. 58.2).
2. Geodia poculata var. piriformis Bösraug, 1913: 246 (type locality Mananara, East coast of Madagascar). The World Porifera Database changed the status to species level as Geodia piriformis, but the species and this variety have not been reported since their original descriptions. The difference between the typical variety, originally given as Geodia poculata var. typica and now accepted as Geodia poculata Bösraug, 1913, and the variety piriformis was indicated by Bösraug to be that poculata lacks small strongylasters and has elongate trumpet-like shape, whereas piriformis possesses the strongylasters and has pear-shape. Without further examination of the specimens or redescriptions, we must accept the names as valid. The name piriformis is a junior secondary homonym (ICZN Art. 59.1).
3. Summary: Geodia pyriformis Vosmaer, 1882 is a senior secondary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.3), but is accepted as a junior synonym of Geodia phlegraei (Sollas, 1880). Geodia piriformis Bösraug, 1913 is a junior secondary homonym without published synonyms and needed to be renamed (ICZN Art. 59.1, 60.3). Geodia boesraugi nom.nov. was proposed, named after Ernst Bösraug. [details]
