From editor or global species database
Type species Quatrefages included four species in his new genus Audouinia, A. lamarckii, A. norwegica, A. crassa, and A. polytrica, and it seems that no type species has been designated from amongst them. Hartman later (Catalogue 1959:406) listed Terebella tentaculata Montagu, 1808, as Cirriformia tentaculata, as type of Cirriformia, her new name (Hartman, 1936) for Audouinia, which is a homonym (via recombination as Cirriformia tentaculata), but this is dubious as T. tentaculata was not included in Audouinia by Quatrefages. Fauvel (1927: 91) subsequently included all four of Quatrefages original Audouinia species as synonyms of Audouinia tentaculata. It is probably this placement that prompted Hartman (Catalogue) to regard Montagu's original Terebella tentaculata, now as Cirriformia tentaculata, as the type species of her Cirriformia, her replacement name for Audouinia, which is a junior homonym. The Hartman (1936) creation of Cirriformia is very brief and does not consider the type species issue. [details]

Etymology Assumed to be named after the French naturalist Jean Victor Audouin, although with an apparent feminine ending as Audouinia, perhaps for euphony. According to the code the 'a' ending makes the genus feminine. [details]

Homonymy Junior homonym to Audouinia Costa, 1834 (Amphipoda) according to nomenclator zoologicus, and replaced with 'Cirriformia' Hartman, 1936, who states: "Audouinia was used by Costa in 1834 and 1851 for a genus of amphipods and is now considered a synonym of Corophium (cf. Stebbing, 1906, p. 685)." [details]

Etymology Assumed to be named after the French naturalist Jean Victor Audouin, although with an apparent feminine ending as Audouinia, perhaps for euphony. According to the code the 'a' ending makes the genus feminine. [details]Grammatical gender Feminine. Quatrefages used three feminine species suffixes for his Audouinia species. Additionally the Code treats -a endings as feminine. [details]
Homonymy Junior homonym to Audouinia Costa, 1834 (Amphipoda) according to nomenclator zoologicus, and replaced with 'Cirriformia' Hartman, 1936, who states: "Audouinia was used by Costa in 1834 and 1851 for a genus of amphipods and is now considered a synonym of Corophium (cf.
