Synonymy Spongia villosa Pallas, 1766 was erected on the basis of a figure of a sponge from the beach of Jamaica in volume I of Sloane (1707: 63), which looks convincingly like the widely used species name Callyspongia (Cladochalina) vaginalis (Lamarck, 1814: 436). Lamarck indicated the same figure of Sloane (1707: 63) as the representative of his Spongia vaginalis, thus confirming inadvertently Pallas’ villosa and his vaginalis as conspecific. Pallas also indicated that Spongia aculeata Linnaeus, 1759: 1348 was included in his concept of this species, which effectively means that his name Spongia villosa is a junior synonym of Spongia aculeata (a conclusion already drawn by Esper 1794: 193), and thus also Lamarck’s Spongia vaginalis a junior synonym. A further indication of the specific properties of Spongia villosa is the reference by Pallas to Petiver (1712), in which plate 19 fig. 9 clearly depicts a specimen of what is until now understood as Callyspongia (Cladochalina) vaginalis. Both names (villosa and vaginalis are now regarded as junior synonyms of Callyspongia (Cladochalina) aculeata (Linnaeus, 1759). [details]
