Removal of homonymy between Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) simillima var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914, Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) antarctica Boury-Esnault & Van Beveren, 1982, Hymedesmia (Stylopus) longurius var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914 and Hymedesmia (Stylopus) dermata var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914.
1. Hymedesmia simillima Lundbeck, 1910 var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914: 112 (type locality Wilhem II coast, Antarctica). This is the senior primary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.2) of H. antarctica Hentschel, 1914 (top of p. 112), elevated to a species level taxon by Boury-Esnault & Van Beveren (1982: 98).
2. Hymedesmia antarctica Boury-Esnault & Van Beveren, 1982: 98 (type locality Kerguelen, Southern Indian Ocean). Hymedesmia antarctica Boury-Esnault & Van Beveren, 1982 was erected for a previously described variety of Hymedesmia simillima var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914 on the mistaken belief that elevating a variety to a species level taxon conferred authorship on the revisor (ICZN Art. 50.3). Comparing the two descriptions leaves little doubt that they are conspecific, and so this species H. antarctica, therefore, should be attributed to Hentschel (1914: 112), with the holotype being Hentschel’s specimen from Gauss Station, Wilhem II coast, Antarctica, and the Boury-Esnault & Van Beveren’s (1982: 98) specimen from Kerguelen (MNHN DNBE 1095) representing a new locality record for the species.
3. Hymedesmia longurius Lundbeck, 1910 var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914: 112 (type locality Wilhelm II coast, Antarctica). Originally described as Hymedesmia longurius var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914 (bottom of p. 112), subsequently transferred to Stylopus Fristedt, 1885 by Vacelet & Arnaud (1972: 18), this species is now allocated to Hymedesmia (Stylopus) and as such it is a junior primary homonym of Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) antarctica Hentschel, 1914 based on page priority, and requires a new name (ICZN Art. 57.2 & Rec. 69A-10).
4. Hymedesmia dermata Lundbeck, 1910 var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914: 114 (type locality Wilhelm II coast, Antarctica). Originally named as Hymedesmia dermata Lundbeck, 1910 var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914 (p. 114), it was transferred to Anchinoe Gray, 1867 by Burton (1940: 108) but is a member of the subgenus Hymedesmia (Stylopus). It differs from H. (Stylopus) antarctica Hentschel, 1914 (bottom of p. 112), but is a junior primary homonym of the latter, and also of H. (Hymedesmia) antarctica Hentschel, 1914 (top of p. 112) based on page priority, hence requiring a new name (ICZN 57.2 & Rec. 69A-10).
5. Summary: Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) antarctica Hentschel, 1914 (top of p. 112) is to be maintained as the senior primary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.2).
Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) antarctica Boury-Esnault & Van Beveren, 1982 is a junior synonym of Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) antarctica Hentschel, 1914 (ICZN 57.3 & 57.4).
Hymedesmia (Stylopus) longurius var.antarctica Hentschel, 1914 is a junior primary homonym of Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) antarctica Hentschel, 1914 based on page priority (ICZN Art. 57.2, 60.3 & Rec. 69A-10), and in the absence of a synonym requires a new name, for which we propose Hymedesmia (Stylopus) ernsthentscheli nom.nov., named after Ernst Hentschel.
Hymedesmia (Stylopus) dermata var. antarctica Hentschel, 1914 is a junior primary homonym of Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) antarctica Hentschel, 1914 based on page priority (ICZN Art. 57.2, 60.3 & Rec. 69A-10), and in the absence of a synonym requires a new name, for which we propose Hymedesmia (Stylopus) hentscheli nom. nov., named after Ernst Hentschel.
