Validity Hyatt’s name is not an available name (as it has a fourth name, ICZN art. 45.5). Apart from Von Lendenfeld’s assignment of this to Hippospongia equina var. meandriniformis (a misspelling of meandriformis Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864: 33, currently Spongia (Spongia) barbara Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) there are no other suggestions in the literature. Hyatt was apparently unaware that Duchassaing & Michelotti corrected the name corlosia to coelosia in the Errata at the end of their book (p. 122). Thus, in accordance with ICZN art. 32.5.1.1 the name must be spelled coelosia. The WPD lists Spongia (Spongia) coelosia as ‘accepted’ but incertae sedis (q.v.). I propose to assign this material from the Bahamas provisionally, but in accordance with Von Lendenfeld’s suggestion, to Hippospongia gossypina (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864), until it has been re-examined.
