Spongia officinalis subsp. tubulifera var. pertusa Hyatt, 1877

Spongia officinalis subsp. tubulifera var. pertusa Hyatt, 1877: 512, pl. 16 fig. 11–11a.

Spongia tubulifer a; Wiedenmayer 1977: 55.

Spongia pertusa; Van Soest 1978: 12.

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 the Caribbean region to Spongia (Spongia) anclotea De Laubenfels & Storr, 1958, of which Spongia pertusa sensu Van Soest 1978 is a synonym (cf. Van Soest et al. 2020: 45).
