Protoschmidtia foraminosa f. aurantiaca Czerniavsky, 1880: 101 , pl. I (V) figs. 6–7.

Described by Czerniavsky from Alupka, Crimea, approximate coordinates 44.41°N 34.06°E, depth 10 m (syntypes ZIN-RAS 11423). As indicated above I propose to merge the forma with the species Haliclona foraminosa ( Czerniavsky, 1880) .
