From editor or global species database
Type species Lamarck created an unnecessary new name of Arenicola piscatorum, instead of recombining Lumbricus marinus into his new genus Arenicola as A. marinus. While the name A piscatorum is the only binomen Lamarck used in Arenicola, it is an objective junior synonym of Lumbricus marinus. The name of a type species should be cited by its original binomen, in this case Lumbricus marinus (Code recommendation 67B) [details]
Etymology Arenicola is Latin for sand dweller

Etymology Arenicola is Latin for sand dweller [details]Grammatical gender Feminine by prevailing usage, although this was probably wrongly adopted. The Code has a stipulation (ICZN 1999, Article 30.1.4.2) that genera with -cola endings be treated as masculine compound nouns (or mostly so treated). Lamarck added what appears to be a plural genitive of 'piscatorum' (meaning of fishermen, thus the sand-dwelling worm of fishermen) when he attempted to replace Linnaeus's L. 'marinus' with his own species name. However, subsequent usage reported by McIntosh appears to be mostly as feminine, although he misreports the endings used by some authors.(see spelling notes for the Arenicola marina record), There would appear to be no possibility of success, or of a useful outcome, in contradicting the modern universal usage as feminine, and so Arenicola can continue to be treated as feminine. [details] Type species Lamarck created an unnecessary new name of Arenicola piscatorum, instead of recombining Lumbricus marinus into his new genus Arenicola as A. marinus. While the name A piscatorum is the only binomen Lamarck used in Arenicola, it is an objective junior synonym of Lumbricus marinus.
