Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 52) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Callyspongia simplex (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) and Callyspongia simplex Burton, 1956.
1. Tuba lineata var. simplex Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864: 47 (type locality St. Thomas, Caribbean). Although no type material is known to have survived (cf. Van Soest et al. 1983: 193), the combination is considered a junior synonym of Callyspongia (Cladochalina) vaginalis (Lamarck, 1814: 436), reassigned to Callyspongia (Cladochalina) aculeata (Linnaeus, 1759: 1348) by Van Soest et al. 2020 (p. 65). Despite this junior synonymy, the name is available and enters in homonymy with junior secondary homonym C. simplex Burton, 1956 (ICZN Art. 57.2).
2. Callyspongia (Callyspongia) simplex Burton, 1956: 126 (type locality Guinea, West Africa). The species is a common species in North West Africa, see e.g. De Weerdt & Van Soest (1986: 29). Because both Duchassaing & Michelotti’s name and Burton’s name are considered congeneric, the two are secondary homonyms (ICZN Art. 57.3, 59.1) and the junior homonym has to be replaced despite the senior name being a junior synonym of an older species.
3. Summary: Callyspongia (Cladochalina) aculeata (Linnaeus, 1759), the senior synonym of Tuba lineata var. simplex Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) is to be maintained. Callyspongia simplex Burton, 1956 is a junior secondary homonym of C. lineata (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864), and needed to be replaced (ICZN Art. 57.3). To remove the homonymy, Callyspongia (Callyspongia) burtoni nom. nov. was proposed, named after Maurice Burton. [details]
