Nomenclature Topsent (1928) mentioned this combination on p.349 in his table of stations and their content of sponge specimens. In the main text (p.315) Topsent described a deviating smaller specimen of Gellius luridus with smaller spicules, but did not name it (he stated it was 'dénommable'). Since the station from which minor n.var. was mentioned is the same as the station of the deviating specimen (stat. 2210) it is quite likely Topsent initially meant the specimen to be named minor. It is likely a j.syn. of Gellius luridus. [details]
