From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Whitelegge (1901) assigned this Australian material to the Atlantic Chalina finitima Schmidt, 1870, which is unlikely to be the same species. Technically speaking, Whitelegge's specimens need a new name, but Schmidt's species is a Chalinula and Whitelegge's is assigned to Haliclona, so homonymy is avoided. [details]
