The occurrence of different sponge species bearing the same Linnean binomial name combination, i.e. homonyms, is to be avoided for obvious reasons. In a review of sponge taxon names of the World Porifera Database, we detected 121 homonymic cases (115 species-group names, 6 genus-group names), involving a total of 272 nominal taxa. It is the object of the present study to remove their occurrence by proposing new names for the junior homonyms following the rules of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature as laid down in the Code (ICZN, 1999) and the on-line edition http://iczn.org/iczn/index.jsp . Homonym cases are discussed and, where applicable, junior homonyms are either replaced by nomina nova or reassigned to their earliest available synonyms. The order in which the homonyms are treated is alphabetical on original species name, with genus names separately treated at the end. A summary table with all proposed name changes is also presented to allow quick access to the junior homonyms and their proposed new names. A total of 116 nomina nova are proposed, including five new genus names.
出于显而易见的原因，应避免出现不同海绵物种具有相同林奈双名法名称组合的情况，即同名异物。在对世界多孔动物数据库的海绵分类单元名称进行审查时，我们发现了121例同名异物情况（115个物种组名称，6个属组名称），总共涉及272个命名分类单元。本研究的目的是根据《国际动物命名法规》（ICZN，1999年）及在线版本http://iczn.org/iczn/index.jsp中规定的国际动物命名委员会规则，通过为次同名异物提出新名称来消除它们的出现。对同名异物情况进行了讨论，并在适用的情况下，次同名异物要么被新名称取代，要么被重新指定为其最早可用的同义词。处理同名异物的顺序按原始物种名称的字母顺序排列，属名在最后单独处理。还列出了所有提议的名称更改汇总表，以便快速查阅次同名异物及其提议的新名称。总共提出了116个新名称，包括5个新属名。
