TaxonomyPrionospio malmgreni Claparède, 1869, described from the Gulf of Naples (Mediterranean Sea), was considered to be indeterminable by later workers. Foster (1971: 82) was the first to consider the species as indeterminable ("Prionospio malmgreni Claparède, 1869a, p. 73, from the Gulf of Naples, is considered indeterminable until material has been collected from the type locality"), considering, however, that "the majority of specimens previously identified as P. malmgreni could in actual fact be referred to P. fallax Söderström, 1920". This is the case of the description in Fauvel (1927: 61-62, fig. 21a-e), used for many of the posterior identifications, especially in Europe. Later, Maciolek (1985: 335-336) confirmed that the species appeared to be indeterminable, adding that "Claparède may actually have had more than one species present in his collection. [...] These statements [concerning the variable number of pairs of branchiae present ] might be interpreted to mean that the four or five specimens which he was studying were damaged and therefore not all similar, or that they represented more than one species." Finally, Sigvaldadóttir & Mackie (1993), confirmed that the species was indeterminable, and that the description of P. malmgreni in Fauvel (1927) is of P. fallax Söderström, 1920. [details]

Depth range Not stated, unknown. [details] Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Claparède (1869: 73): "Corpus longitudine11-12mm vel ultra, latitudine 0mm,5, segmentis ultra 50, pallidum, lobo cephalico latissimo, oculis quatuor. Branchiæ aliæ pennatæ, aliæ simplices usque ad paria novem. Hamorum rostrum superne bidentatum". [details] Etymology Species dedicated to the Finnish zoologist Anders Johan Malmgren (b. Kajaani, 21 November 1834 - d. Helsinki, 14 April 1897): "Je me fais un plaisir de dédier cette espèce à l'observateur scrupuleux qui, le premier, nous a fait connaître le genre remarquable des Prionospio" (Claparède, 1869: 73). [details] Habitat Not stated, unknown. Claparède (1869: 333-334) only refers "Elle n'est point fréquente dans la baie de Naples, où j'en ai reçu des pêcheurs, cinq ou six fois seulement, des individus isolés et incomplets." [details] SynonymyPrionospio fallax Söderström, 1920 was considered to be a junior synonym of Prionospio malmgreni Claparède, 1869 (e.g.: Fauvel, 1927), until the later was considered to be an indeterminable species (e.g.; Foster, 1971; Maciolek, 1985; Sigvaldadóttir & Mackie, 1993). The description of P. malmgreni in Fauvel (1927: 61-62, fig. 21a-e) refers to P. fallax, now a valid species.
