status

Hyatt’s name is not an available name (as it has a fourth name, ICZN art. 45.5). Apart from Von Lendenfeld’s assignment of this to Euspongia officinalis var. rotunda View in CoL ( Hyatt, 1877 as Spongia officinalis subsp. tubulifera var. rotunda View in CoL , cf. below), there are no other suggestions in the literature. Hyatt was apparently unaware that Duchassaing & Michelotti corrected the name corlosia View in CoL to coelosia View in CoL in the Errata at the end of their book (p. 122). Thus, in accordance with ICZN art. 32.5.1.1 the name must be spelled coelosia View in CoL . The WPD lists Spongia (Spongia) coelosia View in CoL as ‘accepted’ but it is incertae sedis (see below). I propose to assign Hyatt’s material from Florida provisionally, but in accordance with Von Lendenfeld’s suggestion, to Spongia (Spongia) tubulifera Lamarck, 1814 View in CoL until it has been re-examined.
