Syconella proboscidea Haeckel, 1870
This combination is a clear nomen nudum as there is no description given in Haeckel’s 1870 paper (p. 239). In the 1872 monograph, Haeckel reassigned the name proboscidea to Sycandra Haeckel, 1872 . Since then this genus is
restricted to a single species S. utriculus ( Schmidt, 1869) (originally as Ute Schmidt, 1862 ). Most other Sycandra species are assigned to Sycon Risso, 1870 and from the few remarks of Haeckel (1872: 313) it is likely that Sycandra proboscidea is also a member of that large genus. Sycon proboscidea ( Haeckel, 1872) from the Egyptian Red Sea (Siemens collection) is poorly known and no recent records are available. It is a species inquirenda.
