Reniera palmata var. taurica f. transitans Czerniavsky, 1880: 121 View in CoL , pl. I figs. 2a–b.

It is unclear from Czerniavsky’s text where exactly this forma was collected, presumably also in Crimea, but this is not a problem because the combination is invalid on account of having four names (ICZN art. 45.5). If it would have been valid the name would have been a junior secondary homonym of Protoschmidtia transitans Czerniavsky, 1880: 97 View in CoL (currently Haliclona transitans View in CoL , cf. Ereskovsky et al. 2016). However, invalid names do not enter into homonymy (ICZN art. 54.1). It is proposed to consider this material to be also referable to Haliclona palmata subsp. pontuseuxiniensis nom.nov.
