Removal of homonymy between Haliclona (Halichoclona) fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1866) and Haliclona (Haliclona) fistulosa (Pulitzer-Finali, 1993).
1. Isodictya fistulosa Bowerbank, 1866: 299 (type locality Guernsey, United Kingdom). Originally assigned to Isodictya, I. fistulosa Bowerbank, 1866 was transferred to Reniera by Schmidt (1870), Adocia by Arndt (1935), and subsequently to Haliclona by Borojevic et al. (1968: 26), which was revised by De Weerdt (1986: 110), and is currently assigned to the subgenus Halichoclona (De Weerdt, 2002: 862). It is the senior secondary homonym of Halicona fistulosa (Pulitzer-Finali, 1993) (ICZN Art. 57.3 & 57.4).
2. Adocia fistulosa Pulitzer-Finali, 1993: 328 (type locality Kenya, East Africa). Originally assigned to Adocia Gray, 1867, which was synonymised with Haliclona Grant, 1841 (De Weerdt 2002: 863), Haliclona (Haliclona) fistulosa (Pulitzer-Finali, 1993: 328) it became a junior secondary homonym of Haliclona (Halichoclona) fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1866) and required a new name.
3. Summary: Haliclona (Halichoclona) fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1866) is the senior secondary homonym of H. fistulosa (Pulitzer-Finali, 1993) (ICZN Art. 57.3 & 57.4) and the name is to be maintained. Haliclona (Haliclona) fistulosa (Pulitzer Finali, 1993) was the junior secondary homonym of H. fistulosa (Bowerbank, 1866), in the absence of synonyms requiring a new name (ICZN Art. 59.1 & 60.3), for which Haliclona (Haliclona) gustavopulitzeri nom. nov. was proposed named after Gustavo Pulitzer-Finali.
