Spongia equina subsp. gossypina var. dendritica Hyatt, 1877

Spongia equina subsp. gossypina var. dendritica Hyatt, 1877: 518, pl. 15 fig. 6.

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 Hippospongia gossypina (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) in accordance with Van Soest (1978: 21).
