Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020:46) explanation for the status of Axinella minuta as replacement name for Axinella pumila Babić, 1922. Removal of homonymy between Higginsia pumila (Keller, 1889) and Axinella pumila Babić, 1922. 1. Axinella pumila Keller, 1889: 397 (type locality Red Sea). The original combination has been reassigned to Higginsia pumila (Keller, 1889) by Hooper (1991:724), and considered accepted in the World Porifera Database (ICZN Art. 57.2). 2. Axinella pumila Babić, 1922: 241 (type locality Croatian waters, Adriatic). The name of this Axinella species must be replaced regardless of the fact that the senior homonym is now a Higginsia. A problem is that the Babić material has been destroyed (cf. Boros 1957), which precluded Van Soest et al. from verifying the true identity. The species name was used by e.g. Uriz (1982:64) and Boury-Esnault et al. (1994:91). These authors state that Axinella minuta Lévi, 1957:205 from the Mediterranean coast of Israel is a junior synonym, so if that is accepted then that name is the first junior synonym that can be used for A. pumila. No new name is then necessary and the type of A. minuta Lévi 1957 is then to be nominated the (neo)type of A. pumila Babić, as both are assumed to be the same species. However, styles of pumila are smaller and thinner than those of minuta (285-935 x 8-16 μm vs up to 1200 μm, respectively), oxeas are longer, but not very specific in the descriptions, so conspecificity is uncertain. Boury-Esnault et al. (1994) suggest they are separate species, but that the Axinella minuta described by Pulitzer-Finali (1983) are more like A. pumila. This indicated that the alleged differences between the two are apparently so small and subtle, that even for specialist observers it is debatable whether maintaining two separate species for these small Axinella forms is realistic (without molecular data support). Van Soest et al. (2020) assigned Axinella minuta to the synonymy of A. pumila Babić and establish that the former is the oldest junior synonym, to be used to replace the latter in order to remove the homonymy (ICZN Art. 60.2). 3. Summary: Higginsia pumila (Keller, 1889) is to be maintained as the senior primary name (ICZN Art. 57.2). Axinella pumila Babić, 1922 is a junior primary homonym and needed to be replaced. To remove the homonymy, the oldest synonym, Axinella minuta Lévi, 1957 was proposed to replace it (ICZN Art. 60.2). [details]
