Nomenclature See notes under Echiurus genus for the circumstances of this name, but, while the new genus is required, the species name is an unnecessary replacement species name for Lumbricus echiurus Pallas, now Echiurus echiurus. It is impossible to say if Echiurus pallasii Guérin-Méneville, 1831 was illustrated from new material or simply a modified figure copied from elements of the Pallas original figures. If the latter then Echiurus pallasi would be an objective synonym. [details]

Biology Wilson (1900) has an observation on swimming by Echiurus echiurus from Maine (here called Echiurus pallasii): "on visiting an aquarium after dark during the second summer, to find three or four specimens swimming about in it freely" in a gyratory or corkscrew motion [details]Nomenclature See notes under Echiurus genus for the circumstances of this name, but, while the new genus is required, the species name is an unnecessary replacement species name for Lumbricus echiurus Pallas, now Echiurus echiurus.
