Spongia equina subsp. gossypina var. alba Hyatt, 1877

Spongia equina subsp. gossypina var. alba Hyatt, 1877: 519, pl. 15 fig. 4

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 Florida and the Bahamas to Hippospongia gossypina (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) in accordance with Van Soest (1978: 21).
