Porifera name details
From editor or global species database
Homonymy Von Lendenfeld erected two varieties of his T.multistella, T. m. var. microstella and T.m. var.megastella, but omitted to indicate which one of these varieties is the typical variety, i.e. which contains the type specimen. Van Soest & Hooper (2020) as first revisers chose T. m. var. microstella as the typical variety, and this must be renamed as T. m. var. multistella according to ICZN Art. 46. Moreover both varieties are considered to be part of the same species which does not have subspecies. This means that a threatening homonymy of T. m. var. microstella with Tethya microstella Sarà, 1990 is removed. [details]
