Validity This 'genus' was erected under the rules of the Phylocode, which does not recognize ranks or type species. The name is clearly of the genus group rank (encompassing at least two named species, Geodia barretti and G. hentscheli), but its name in the Linnean classification is unavailable as it lacks a type species and a delimitation against related genera. Phylocode and Linnean classifications show fundamental differences. The mentioned species are to be reverted to genus Geodai Phylocode and Linnean classifications show fundamental differences. The WPD and WoRMS have committed themselves to the latter.The 'definition' of Depressiogeodia is quoted from the original paper:
Depressiogeodia (nomen cladi novum): (stem-based) the most inclusive clade containing Geodia barretti Bowerbank, 1858 and not Geodia gibberosa Lamarck, 1815 and Geodia cydonium (Jameson, 1811). Etymology: From the latin words ‘depressio’ meaning ‘cavity’ and ‘geodia’ meaning ‘geode’. [details]
