Present Inaccurate Introduced: alien Containing type locality
From editor or global species database
Etymology Not stated. As the type species was removed from the clitellate genus Nais, one can speculate the formulation Naineris was intended to indicate an intermediate appearance between Nais and Nereis (respectively oligochaete and polychaete), but it is impossible to be certain. Other polychaetes wrongly placed in Nais were Opheliidae [details]
Grammatical gender Feminine. Past authors treat the genus as feminine. If the second part of the name is based on Nereis, which is feminine, then this is logical. [details]
Spelling Misspelled 'Nainereis' in the index of Fauchald (1977), but correct 'Naineris' in the identification key (p. 15) and the body of the text (p. 16) [details]Unreviewed
description ORBINIINAE with rounded or truncate prostomium, branchiae first present from any segment from 2-23. Maximally two accessory papillae on posterior parapodia, ventral papillae absent. Thoracic neurosetae include crenulated capillaries, hooks and intermediate forms. Abdominal notosetae crenulated capillaries and sometimes furcate setae. [details]
