Spongelia dubia var. mollior sensu Hyatt, 1877
Spongelia dubia var. mollior sensu Hyatt, 1877: 534 (no illustration).
Not: Cacospongia mollior Schmidt, 1862: 27 View in CoL .
The variety was described by Hyatt from Florida, approximate coordinates 26.495915°N 82.725098°W (syntype MCZ PORa-7331). Hyatt (1877: 534) referred S. d. var. mollior to Schmidt’s Cacospongia mollior View in CoL with question mark. The localities for this variety are Florida and Fernando do Noronha ( Brazil, but this latter specimen is not listed as present on the online database of MCZ), making the conspecificity with the Mediterranean species Cacospongia mollior Schmidt, 1862 View in CoL unlikely. Without images and more precise description this combination is incertae sedis. It likely belongs to genus Dysidea View in CoL and I propose to assign it to the combination Dysidea mollior ( Hyatt, 1877) as a taxon inquirendum.
