Status Leonnates insolita Gravier & Dantan, 1934 was proposed conditionally, almost as an afterthought to a description of an unnamed Leonnates species female epitoke, but seems an available name under the Code (article 11.5.1). If proposed after 1961 it would not be an available name (article 15.1), thus not valid. The name was used as if valid by Rullier (1965: 177) in text flow, and more extensively under a heading of Leonnates insolitus by Qiu & Qian (2000: 1127-28).

Gravier & Dantan (1934) label the heading of their description and caption the figures only as 'Leonnates sp.' The name Leonnates insolita is conditionally proposed on p.49-50 of Gravier & Dantan (1934) in the following way:
"Une telle armature rattache la forme en question au genre Leonnates Malmgren. Malheureusement, nous n'avons pu suffisamment étudier les soies des parapodes de la partie antérieure du corps, n'ayant qu'un seul exemplaire à notre disposition. Par son aspect spécial, par l'armature de la trompe, par la structure du parapode, elle ne paraît se confondre avec aucune forme déjù décrite; elle serait donc nouvelle. Mais comme la composition des soies n'est pas suffisamment connue, nous ne lui donnerons pas de nom spécifique. S'il se confirmait, par l'étude d'autres individus, qu'elle est incontestablement nouvelle, on pourrait l'appeler, à cause de son aspect un peu singulier, Leonnates insolita, nov. sp.
[Such a jaw attaches the form in question to the genus Leonnates Malmgren. Unfortunately, we have not been able to sufficiently study the bristles of the parapodia of the anterior part of the body, having only one example at our disposal. By its special appearance, by the armature of the trunk, by the structure of the parapodia, it does not appear to be confounded with any form already described; she would be new. But since the composition of the bristles is not sufficiently known, we will not give it a specific name. If it were confirmed, by the study of other individuals, that it is incontestably new, it might be called, because of its somewhat singular appearance, Leonnates insolita, nov. sp.[details]

Etymology The species-group name 'insolita' means unusual, uncommon, strange, odd. Gravier & Dantan state that it has a "somewhat singular appearance ...". As Leonnates is masculine it should have been 'insolitus' for gender agreement. [details]

Grammatical gender As Leonnates is masculine the adjectival species-group name should be 'insolitus' for gender agreement. That spelling is the correct spelling and was used by Qiu & Qian (2000: 1127) [details]

Status Leonnates insolita Gravier & Dantan, 1934 was proposed conditionally, almost as an afterthought to a description of an unnamed Leonnates species female epitoke, but seems an available name under the Code (article 11.5.1).
