Editor's comment Ehlers described both Diopatra socialis and Diopatra brevibranchiata in 1874 as new species in an English language journal, and in 1875 he described them again in a German language journal. This duplication was not unusual at the time, but unfortunately he changed the spelling of the second species to 'brevibrachiata' (used more than once). Thus there are no consequences for the nomenclature of D socialis, but a problem was created for D. brevibranchiata. [details]From other sources
