Nomenclature We cite here Van Soest et al.'s (2020: 58) explanation for the nomen novum.
Removal of homonymy between Terpios tenuicula (Bowerbank, 1882) and Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) tenuicula Lundbeck, 1910.
1. Hymedesmia tenuicula Bowerbank, 1882: 68 (type locality Roundstone Bay, Ireland). Although Topsent (1890: 198) already realized that Hymedesmia tenuicula belongs to the family Suberitidae, assigning it to Suberites tenuicula, it lasted until Ackers et al. (1992: 90) (confirmed in Van Soest 2002: 244) to properly discover that Bowerbank already had described a senior synonym in 1866, Terpios gelatinosa (Bowerbank, 1866: 222, as Hymeniacidon). This precludes invoking ICZN Art. 23.9.5 as a means of suppressing Hymedesmia tenuicula Bowerbank as a nomen oblitum. It is therefore a senior primary homonym of H. tenuicula Lundbeck, 1910 (ICZN Art. 57.2).
2. Hymedesmia tenuicula Lundbeck, 1910: 52 (type localities Faroe Islands and East and West Greenland). The species is a Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) and the species name was apparently chosen in ignorance of Bowerbank’s (1882) name. The name is a junior primary homonym of the latter, and as pointed out above, ICZN Art.
23.9.5 cannot be invoked to have Lundbeck’s combination declared a nomen protectum. This species required a new name (ICZN Art. 60.3).
3. Summary: Terpios gelatinosa (Bowerbank, 1866) as senior synonym of the senior primary homonym is to be maintained (ICZN Art. 57.2). Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) tenuicula Lundbeck, 1910 is a junior primary homonym (ICZN Art. 60.3). To remove the homonymy Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) williami nom. nov. was proposed, named after William Lundbeck. [details]
