Spongelia pallescens subsp. elastica var. massa Schulze, 1879

Spongelia pallescens subsp. elastica var. massa Schulze, 1879b: 154 , pl. V fig. 4, pl. VI fig. 3, 5-7, pl. VII fig. 3, pl. VIII fig. 9–11.

Schulze’s name is not an available name (as it has a fourth name, ICZN art. 45.5). I propose to assign this material, decribed from the Bay of Muggia, near Triest, Adriatic Sea, to Dysidea pallescens ( Schmidt, 1862) .
