Etymology Not stated. Antipodes is from Greek, from ἀντί (antí, “opposite”) + πούς (poús, “foot”). Schmarda used 'antipoda' twice as a species name, with the other species (Pelogenia antipoda) being collected in New Zealand, not Australia. Antipodes is a general term for points on earth diametrically opposite, but to Europeans loosely indicated the Australian and New Zealand region. [details]

From editor or global species database
Etymology Not stated. Antipodes is from Greek, from ἀντί (antí, “opposite”) + πούς (poús, “foot”). Schmarda used 'antipoda' twice as a species name, with the other species (Pelogenia antipoda) being collected in New Zealand, not Australia. Antipodes is a general term for points on earth diametrically opposite, but to Europeans loosely indicated the Australian and New Zealand region. [details]Neotype Schmarda’s type of P. antipoda could not be located by Hutching & Peart (2002: 116). They found three early-collected [pre 1886] specimens from Port Jackson from which to choose a neotype. They write: "They were collected by Dr Robert von Lendenfeld, an Austrian sponge worker who visited Australia in the 1880s, and although he established a laboratory in Melbourne on the shores of Port Phillip Bay, he also travelled to Sydney. These three specimens were collected from Port Jackson several decades after Schmarda’s material was collected, although no detailed location within the harbour is given. During this period, little development occurred within the harbour, so we have assumed that environmental conditions were similar to those at the time Schmarda’s material was collected. Another species of this genus, Pectinaria dodeka n.sp. (described in this paper), is also present in Sydney Harbour, but the material of Lendenfeld most closely resembles Augener’s material and that described by Nilsson and the brief description given by Schmarda (1861). To stabilise the name, we have designated a neotype of Pectinaria antipoda from among these three specimens, provided a full description and re-illustrated the species." [details]
Type locality Neotype, Port Jackson, Sydney Harbour, Australia, exact location unknown, indicative geolocation -33.85, 151.267 (33°51'S 151°16'E). Schmarda (1861: 46) recorded the location as "Port .Jackson (.Australien) im Meeressande, in drei bis vier Faden Tiefe" thus in subtidal sand. [details]
