Spongia vermiculata subsp. cookii var. tectoria Hyatt, 1877

Spongia vermiculata subsp. cookii var. tectoria Hyatt, 1877: 526 (no illustration)

Hyatt’s name is not an available name (as it has a fourth name, ICZN art. 45.5). There are no references to the identity, other than that Spongia vermiculata Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864 is a junior synonym of Spongia (Spongia) barbara Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864 . However, it is not likely that this species would occur in the Eastern Pacific, so I propose to assign the specimen to S. (S.) aff. barbara, which is likely an undescribed species.
