Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 26-27) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Oceanapia fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1873) and Oceanapia fistulosa sensu Topsent (1904).
1. Desmacidon fistulosa Bowerbank, 1873: 19 (type locality Fremantle, Western Australia). Originally named Desmacidon fistulosa Bowerbank, 1873 it was transferred to Rhizochalina Schmidt, 1870 by Ridley (1884: 420) (as Rhizochalina fistulosa var. infradensata Ridley, 1884 now considered a junior synonym). Subsequently, it was synonymised with Phloeodictyon Carter, 1882 by Topsent (1904: 235), which in turn was synonymised with Oceanapia Norman, 1869 by Van Soest (1980: 85) (Desqueyroux-Faúndez & Valentine 2002: 897), making Oceanapia fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1873) the senior secondary homonym over Oceanapia fistulosa sensu Topsent, 1904 from the Azores, which is a separate species. Since Topsent (1904) referred to Ridley & Dendy’s description, this record is technically a misapplication, not a homonym.
2. Oceanapia fistulosa sensu Topsent (1904): 235 (type locality Azores, North Atlantic). Van Soest (1980: 85) noted records of Oceanapia fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1873) having a wide disjunct biogeographic distribution recorded from the Indo-west Pacific, eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Carribean Sea (Bowerbank 1873; Ridley 1884; Ridley & Dendy 1887; Topsent 1904, 1928; Lévi & Vacelet 1958; Van Soest 1980). The records of Oceanapia fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1873) from the Azores were likely be a separate species from Oceanapia fistulosa sensu stricto from the Indo-west Pacific, and although populations may be similar in their gross morphology they are more probably cryptic sibling species, as documented by their highly variable spicule morphologies (e.g. Topsent 1904: 235) and their spiculo-fibre skeletal development (e.g. Van Soest 1980: 85). The Caribbean populations (e.g. those described in Van Soest 1980) were already transferred to the synonymy of Oceanapia ascidia (Schmidt, 1870: 40) by Van Soest (2017: 43). A new name was here proposed for the deep water Azores populations.
3. Summary: Oceanapia fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1873) is the senior secondary homonym of Oceanapia fistulosa sensu Topsent, 1904 and the name is maintained (ICZN Art. 57.2). Oceanapia fistulosa sensu Topsent (1904) from the Azores differs from Oceanapia fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1873) (Van Soest 1980), for which the name Oceanapia azorensis nom. nov. was proposed, named after the type locality.
