From editor or global species database
Type species Savigny (1822) included Nereis viridis and Nereis maculata (now in Phyllodoce). Type species as Nereis viridis Linnaeus 1767 a subsequent designation by Bergström (1914:123) fide Pleijel (1991:241). Note that Bergström appears to misspell 'viridis' as 'virides' and 'virens' in part of his synonymy, but this may have been intentional. [details]

Homonymy Not a junior homonym. In the IRMNG database, Eulalia Savigny 1822 is homonym in zoology to Eulalia Meigen, 1800 (Insecta, Diptera), but it is there recorded that the latter is unavailable as in a work suppressed by ICZN Opinion 678. In botany there is also a Eulalia Kunth, 1829 in Poaceae ((Plantae-Magnoliophyta-Liliopsida-Poales-Poaceae) [details]

Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Savigny as follows: "Paroissent avoir une longue trompe couronnée de tentacules; quatre antennes courtes, égales; huit cirres tentaculaires; une rame pour chaque pied ; les cirres supérieurs ovales ou lancéolés et comprimés en forme de feuilles ; les cirres inférieurs très-courts ; deux cirres stylaires; point de branchies distinctes. Quatrième genre à établir ? EULALIA." [details]Homonymy Not a junior homonym. In the IRMNG database, Eulalia Savigny 1822 is homonym in zoology to Eulalia Meigen, 1800 (Insecta, Diptera), but it is there recorded that the latter is unavailable as in a work suppressed by ICZN Opinion 678. In botany there is also a Eulalia Kunth, 1829 in Poaceae ((Plantae-Magnoliophyta-Liliopsida-Poales-Poaceae) [details]
