in WoRMS both names appear as valid
what is the source for Dendostrea sandvichensis (G. B. Sowerby II 1871)?

The source is Huber (2010). Compendium.

WORMS is wrong here, they simply forgot to update their database. In fact, if you search for Dendostrea sandvichensis:

http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=506713


"crenulifera Sowerby" is among synonyms.

But they did not connect that page with this one:

http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=545399
http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=244714


I would say to contact Serge Gofas or Gary Rosemberg as to fix this first in WORMS and then here...

Mediterranean records ascribed to Dendostrea frons/D. folium, Dendostrea sandvichensis (= Alectryonella/Dendostrea crenulifera) and Alectryonella plicatula (Gmelin, 1791) should be listed as a single species "Dendostrea sp." (see Crocetta et al., 2014)

A new name (Dendostrea sandvichensis) was created in the Master Table (as R18209), that collates R16529 (Alectryonella crenulifera) and R17468 (Dendostrea crenulifera). A typos was corrected in the family Ostreidae (several species listed as Ostreoidae). Finally, its status was moved to QUESTIONABLE.
