Taxonomy All Nardo's 1833 Ircinia names are nomina nuda. Pronzato et al. (2004) proposed to indicate Ircinia spongiastrum as type species. This is very likely a growth form of the common Adriatic species Ircinia variabilis (Schmidt, 1862). This type species designation counteracts earlier attempts at type species designation by a.o. De Laubenfels (1948) and Cook & Bergquist (2002) which involved species not originally included in Ircinia when Nardo erected the genus. [details]
