Type species Type species S. Mathildae Audouin and Milne Edwards is mentioned only as a footnote in Cuvier (1830), without description (so a nomen nudum), referring to "Aud. et Edw., Littor. de la France" which work did not appear until 1834. The actual first description was published in another Audouin & Milne Edwards work in 1832 in 'Annales des sciences naturelles" [details]

Etymology According to Mackie & Chambers (1990:52) "Several authors have treated Sigalion as neuter, but Sigalion is a Greek name for the Egyptian god of silence, more commonly known as Harpocrates, and is of masculine gender (Lewis & Short 1879). This is clearly indicated by the words (" … aut tua Sigalion Aegyptius oscula signet . . .") of the poet Ausonius …" Much earlier Johnston (1865: 123) explained this in a footnote: "Sigalion is a name of Harpocrates, the companion of Aesculapius and Hygeia, by whom physicians were obliged to swear [an oath]" [details]

Etymology According to Mackie & Chambers (1990:52) "Several authors have treated Sigalion as neuter, but Sigalion is a Greek name for the Egyptian god of silence, more commonly known as Harpocrates, and is of masculine gender (Lewis & Short 1879). This is clearly indicated by the words (" … aut tua Sigalion Aegyptius oscula signet . . .") of the poet Ausonius …" Much earlier Johnston (1865: 123) explained this in a footnote: "Sigalion is a name of Harpocrates, the companion of Aesculapius and Hygeia, by whom physicians were obliged to swear [an oath]" [details] Grammatical gender masculine (fide Mackie & Chambers, 1990) [details] Publication date A description of Sigalion was not published until 1832. However Cuvier (1830) prematurely published the name. The total content of his definition is this: "Les Sigalions, Aud. et Mil n. Edw., sont d'une forme bien plus alonge que les autres aphrodites; ils ont des cirrhes tous les pieds" He also refers (name only) to Sigalion Mathildae in a footnote, but as Audouin & Milne Edwards work was not published for another two years, this cannot validate Cuvier's nomen nudum species name usage by indication. Code article 12.2.5 requires an available species name for a new genus name. Mackie & Chambers (1990: 39-40) introduced the use of Cuvier, 1830 for the genus authority, but earlier workers had used the 1832 publication of Audouin & Milne Edwards, and this seems to be the correct decision under the Code.
