Nomenclature Gil et al. (2020: 431) have introduced the specific name
porcupine for S. gayi var. robusta Allman, 1874a, arguing
that it “is an invalid junior homonym of Sertularella
robusta Coughtrey, 1879 (sic)”. Their interpretation
is evidently unfounded, as Coughtrey’s species was
created in 1876, and cannot be the senior homonym of
a hydroid described in 1874. In this sense, Calder &
Faucci (2021: 25) highlighted that Coughtrey’s nominal
species “is a permanently invalid junior homonym of
S. gayi var. robusta Allman, 1874a (ICZN 1999, Art.
57.2)”, and introduced into use the replacement binomen
S. quasiplana Trebilcock, 1928 for the former. [details]
