Spongia agaricina subsp. punctata var. densa Hyatt, 1877: 523 , pl. 16 fig. 27.

Euspongia officinalis var. rotunda View in CoL ; Von Lendenfeld 1889: 269.

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 Euspongia oficinalis var. rotunda View in CoL , there are no other suggestions in the literature. I propose to assign this material from the Bahamas provisionally, but in accordance with Von Lendenfeld’s suggestion, to Spongia (Spongia) tubulifera Lamarck, 1814 View in CoL as Hyatt stated it was similar to that species, until it has been re-examined.
