Distribution The title of the paper of Dendy (1887) is misleading as the sponges he described were from the Gulf of Manaar, not from Madras (-Chennai) (see Introduction of Dendy, 1889). [details]Synonymy Van Soest (2024: 77) argued that the present variety and the nominotypical variety S. inconstans var. inconstans (= var. globosa) must be merged to a single taxon as the differences between the two are negligible, and the locality of the two is the same (Rameswaram Island, Gulf of Mannar, approximate coordinates 13.08°N 80.3°E, lectotype BMNH 1887.8.4.1, one specimen (not type material) in the Madras Museum, now Government Museum, Chennai, cf. Vosmaer 1911: 19). The species is to be named Spheciospongia inconstans (Dendy, 1887). [details]
