Nomenclature note The list of unused order names is non-exhaustive because over time the presently accepted order names covered partly or wholly previous names proposed for heteromorph orders. Some examples:
Clavulina Vosmaer, 1887 (also Clavulida)
Thallassospongiae Von Lendenfeld, 1889
Epipolasida Sollas, 1888
Microcioniformes De Laubenfels, 1936
Myxilliformes De Laubenfels, 1936
Phorbasiformes De Laubenfels, 1936
Plocamiiformes De Laubenfels, 1936

Names above the family level are not governed by the Code of the ICZN, so these names do not answer to the rule of priority. The names are simply disused. [details]
