Taxonomy Halisarca was first erected by Dujardin, 1838, as the Systema Porifera chapter indicates, but Dujardin did not mention a species name and thus the name is a nomen nudum. Johnston, 1842, subsequently described Halisarca dujardini and made the genus name Halisarca available. Authorship and year for Halisarca is Johnston, 1842 according to the rules of the ICZN.

Taxonomy Halisarca was first erected by Dujardin, 1838, as the Systema Porifera chapter indicates, but Dujardin did not mention a species name and thus the name is a nomen nudum. Johnston, 1842, subsequently described Halisarca dujardini and made the genus name Halisarca available. Authorship and year for Halisarca is Johnston, 1842 according to the rules of the ICZN.
