Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 48-49) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Dactylia repens (Selenka, 1867) and Dactylia repens (Carter, 1886).
1. Ditela repens Selenka, 1867: 567 (type locality Melbourne, Australia). Von Lendenfeld (1888: 114) reassigned this to genus Chalinopsilla Von Lendenfeld, 1888: 104. That genus is considered a junior synonym of Dactylia Carter, 1885: 309 by Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994: 105). These latter authors nevertheless considered Selenka’s species as Callyspongiidae incertae sedis (Hooper & Wiedenmayer 1994: 108), presumably because no type material has survived. We maintain here that Selenka’s figure and description match Dactylia, the specimen even looks like the type species Dactylia chaliniformis Carter, 1885: 309. The species is a senior secondary homonym of D. repens (Carter, 1886) (ICZN Art. 57.3).
2. Chalina oculata var. repens Carter, 1886: 375 (type locality Port Western, SE Australia). This was reassigned to Dactylia by Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994: 106) and is accepted by the World Porifera Database. Like D. repens (Selenka) the species is similar to the type species D. chaliniformis, and it is even possible that the two Dactylia species discussed here might be conspecific. Unfortunately, the absence of a type of Selenka’s species means that conspecificity cannot be proved. It is a junior secondary homonym of D. repens (Selenka, 1867) and required a new name (ICZN Art. 60.3).
3. Summary: Dactylia repens (Selenka, 1867) as senior secondary homonym is to be maintained (ICZN Art. 57.3). Dactylia repens (Carter, 1886) is a junior secondary homonymy without obvious synonym and needed to be renamed (ICZN Art. 60.3). To remove the homonymy Dactylia carteri nom.nov. was proposed, named after John Henry Carter. [details]
