Gellius tubuloramosus Dendy, 1924 (Fig. 3L) Gellius tubuloramosus Dendy, 1924: 323 (no illustration). Haliclona tubuloramosa; Burton 1932: 266. Sigmadocia tubuloramosus; Bergquist & Warne 1980: 24, pl. 9a; Kelly et al. 2009: 44 (listed only). This species was described by Dendy from North Cape, New Zealand,approximate coordinates 34.4167°S 173.0833°E, depth 128 m (wet holotype BMNH 1923.10.1.61). The genus Gellius Gray, 1867 is currently considered a subgenus of Haliclona Grant, 1841 and transfer of the present species to Haliclona (Gellius) created a junior secondary homonymy with syntype specimens described by Carter (1887: 70, pl. 6 fig. 1) from the Mergui archipelago as Isodictya simulans var. tubuloramosa. Isodictya simulans (Johnston, 1842 as Halichondria) is currently Haliclona (Haliclona) simulans, a species confined to European waters. Two syntypes are kept in the collection of the Natural History Museum, BMNH 1887.6.1.7 and 1887.6.1.14. Transferred to Haliclona, the combination became Haliclona ... : Published as part of Van Soest, Rob W.
