  Comment: LSID urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:124509 associated with the scientific name Holothuria lactea Forbes & Goodsir, 1839 acquired on 15 October, 2015  
    Both Ocnus lactea (original combination: Holothuria lactea Forbes & Goodsir, 1839) and Zygothuria lactea (original combination: Holothuria lactea Théel, 1886) are well-known species, but H. lactea Théel 1886 should be treated as an invalid later homonym of H. lactea Forbes & Goodsir 1839; a future manuscript will resolve this problem (Paulay, 2015, pers. comm.)
