Neotype Capitella capitata is exceedingly well known, and its original name much less so. However, any neotype created is always to replace the type specimen of the original species name, in this case Lumbricus capitatus. Blake (2009: 64) states that the neotype, (ZMUC-Pol-1967) "was selected from the excellent materials from Mârmorilik, a site located at 71°6.5′N latitude on the Affarlikassâ Fjord on the innermost part of the Uummannaq Fjord system north of Disko Bay. [details]
