Verongia hirsuta var. fulvoides Hyatt, 1875

Verongia hirsuta var. fulvoides Hyatt, 1875: 403 (no illustration).

The variety was described by Hyatt from off the coast of Florida,approximate coordinates 26.495915°N 82.725098°W, coll. date 1854–1858 (one of three syntypes is registered as MCZ PORa-7006). This variety has been ignored by later authors, but in view of the fact that the three syntypes were branching specimens and the choice of the name meaning it is similar to Aplysina fulva (Pallas, 1766), I propose here to assign the variety as a junior synonym of that species.
