Taxonomic remark From Hooper & Van Soest, 2002 (in chapter 25: Family Suberitidae Schmidt, 1870): De Laubenfels (1936a: 143) considered Choanites Mantell, 1822: 178 a senior synonym of Ficulina, but this has not been further verified. Subsequently, the same author (de Laubenfels, 1955b: E108) considered Choanites a genus of Tunicata based on the technicality that the type species was named Alcyonium ficus sensu Pallas (probably a tunicate) and not sensu Johnston. In view of the fact that Ficulina is here considered a junior synonym of Suberites, we propose to follow de Laubenfels' technical solution; if not, Choanites would have to be suppressed because it threatens the junior name Suberites.
