Polychaeta name details
From editor or global species database
Spelling Örsted (1843:20) introduced the misspelling Nereilepas, although earlier on p.6 in the same work he used Blainville's original spelling of Nereilepa. Agassiz (1846, Index Universalis) includes neither spelling. Grube (1867 Novara) added two species using 'Nereilepas' misspelling as a subgenus. The Hartman catalogue (1959:251) has the correct Nereilepa, but mentions 'Nereilepas' is a variant spelling. She records two usages of Nereis (Nereilepas) (Grube's species) and (p.252) includes 'Nereilepas' as a synonym of Nereis. [details]
