Nomenclature The name Spongia plicifera Lamarck, 1814 is threatened by the earlier name Spongia labyrinthiformis Vahl, 1793. However, the latter name is a 'nomen oblitum' in the sense of ICZN art. 23.9 (not used after 1899), and the present name is a 'nomen protectum' because it has been in general use in the last 50 years.
