Holotype ZIRAS 11428, geounit Black Sea [details]
From editor or global species database
Validity The forma was described by Czerniavsky from Novorossijsk, Russian Black Sea coast, approximate coordinates 44.68°N 37.82°E, depth 2–10 m (‘holotype’ ZIN-RAS 11428). Since this is the only forma of Pellina semitubulosa var. pontica, the current name should have been Pellina semitubulosa var. pontica forma pontica. Regardless, the combination is invalid on account of having four names (ICZN art. 45.5). Pellina semitubulosa (Lamarck, 1814: 455, as Spongia) is recognized as an ill-known Mediterranean species, currently named Halichondria (Halichondria) semitubulosa (cf. Erpenbeck & Van Soest 2002: 804). The specimen of the present forma is to be assigned to that species. [details]
