Removal of homonymy between Haliclona (Gellius) reptans (Whitelegge, 1906) and Haliclona (Haliclona) reptans (Griessinger, 1971).
1. Gellius reptans Whitelegge, 1906: 462 (type locality off the coast of New South Wales, Australia). Hooper & Wiedenmayer (1994:121) declared this ‘Chalinidae incertae sedis’. However, Gellius Gray, 1867: 522 is a junior synonym of Haliclona (Gellius) and Whitelegge’s description falls within the definition of that subgenus (cf. De Weerdt 2002: 852). The World Porifera Database accepts Whitelegge’s species as Haliclona (Gellius) reptans, which is a senior secondary homonym of H. (H.) reptans (Griessinger, 1971) (ICZN Art. 57.3).
2. Adocia reptans Griessinger, 1971: 159 (type locality Marseille, Western Mediterranean). De Weerdt (2000: 6) reassigned this combination to Haliclona (Haliclona) reptans, thus creating a junior secondary homonym of Whitelegge’s (1906) species (ICZN Art. 57.2), requiring a new name.
3. Summary: Haliclona (Gellius) reptans (Whitelegge, 1906) is to be maintained as senior secondary homonym (ICZN Art. 57.3). Haliclona (Haliclona) reptans (Griessinger, 1971) is a junior secondary homonym without obvious synonyms and must be renamed (ICZN Art. 60.3). To remove the homonymy Haliclona (Haliclona) massiliensis nom. nov. was proposed, named after the type locality (there were already Haliclona species named after Jean Michel Griessinger). [details]
