Removal of homonymy between Geodia nigra Von Lendenfeld, 1888 and Geodia nigra (Lindgren, 1897).
1. Geodia nigra Von Lendenfeld, 1888: 33 (type locality Broughton Island, East Australia). This original combination is a senior secondary homonym of Geodia nigra (Lindgren, 1897) (ICZN Art. 57.3).
2. Isops nigra Lindgren, 1897: 486 (type locality Gaspar Strait, Indonesia). Lindgren’s species (extensively redescribed by Lindgren 1898: 352) was originally described in Isops Sollas, 1880: 396, which was subsequently transferred as a subgenus to Geodia Lamarck, 1815: 333 at the suggestion of Burton (1926: 2). Although Uriz (2002: 139) still used a separately valid genus Isops, the Geodia status of Isops was confirmed by molecular data of Cárdenas et al. (2010: 98). This caused Lindgren’s species to become a junior secondary homonym of Geodia nigra Von Lendenfeld, 1888, requiring a new name.
3. Summary: Geodia nigra Von Lendenfeld, 1888 is to be maintained as a senior secondary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.3). Geodia nigra (Lindgren, 1897) is a junior secondary homonym without published synonym and needed to be replaced (ICZN Art. 60.3). To remove the homonymy, Geodia nilslindgreni nom. nov. was proposed, named after Nils Lindgren. [details]
