Spongia officinalis subsp. tubulifera var. exotica Hyatt, 1877

Spongia officinalis subsp. tubulifera var. exotica Hyatt, 1877: 513, pl. 16 fig. 13.

Spongia tubulifer a; Wiedenmayer 1977: 55; Van Soest 1978: 11.

Hyatt’s name is not an available name (as it has a fourth name, ICZN art. 45.5). I propose to assign this material from Nassau, Bahamas to Spongia (Spongia) tubulifera Lamarck, 1814, in accordance with Wiedenmayer and Van Soest.
