Etymology Not stated. The specific epithet varia is a Latin adjective meaning 'diverse' or 'different', but also 'variegated', 'streaked', 'spotted' or 'very colorful', and refers presumably to the complex coloration of the species: "The anterior 50 somites are pale yellow in color while the remainder is colorless. In the colored region the dorsal surface is marked by fine dark pigment spots which are most noticeable in the median dorsal line but also occur on either side of this, extending nearly to the somite margin. This arrangement is most obvious in the anterior somites. Farther posteriorly the pigment is arranged in a band extending across the dorso-median line of the somite, and a small spot just posterior to this in the dorsal median line. The prostomium, all cirri, and parapodia are colorless." (Treadwell, 1928: 467). [details]
