The usage in the Gmelin 1791 edition of Systema Naturae does not cite Bruguière, 1789, but both cite Müller's informally named Amphitrite with kidney-shaped fan. The usage is only slightly later than Bruguière, 1789 and it seems likely the Gmelin name usage can be advantageously regarded as Amphitrite reniformis Bruguière, 1789, rather than a new name to be treated as a homonym as both derive from Müller's observation and informal name . Although Johann Friedrich Gmelin was a German, probably not in direct contact with Bruguière

Authority In brief the author of A reniformis is Bruguiére but the history of the name is complicated. Müller (1771) published a description of "Die nieren-formige Amphitrite" [kidney-shaped Amphitrite], but no binominals were included in the description. Müller's informal name does not enter nomenclature. The content was later used by Bruguiére (1789?: 57) in an encyclopedia organised by genera under the Latin binominal Amphitrite reniformis, and Bruguiére used the abbreviation 'nob.' (nobis = ours) with the name, thus Bruguiére was taken to be originating author of the binominal A. reniformis in several Knight-Jones publications, including Knight-Jones (deceased) et al. (2017). However, in the volume of Bruguière plates (1816? to 1830: 134) Gmelin's usage (p.3110) is credited in the captions. Gmelin is the author of the 13th edition of 'Systema Naturae ...'. of which the first part was published 1788, but the Vermes (vol 1 part 6) was published 1791. Thus Bruguiére was months earlier and remains the author of Amphitrite reniformis. The later mention of Gmelin in the plates atlas is only intended for cross reference, although it is interesting that Gmelin does not mention the usage in Bruguiére. The eventual title page date for Bruguiére's work is actually 1792, but according to Evenhuis & Petit (2003 corrections) the first installment up to page 344 was circulated in 1789 and the 1792 title page is a later replacement. Possibly the two contemporaneous authors Bruguiére and Gmelin used the name independently at the time, each deriving the name from the original entry in Müller, but it seems likely that Gmelin had available to him the 1789 part of Bruguiére. [details]

Editor's comment Some authors have credited Müller with this name, for example Fauvel 1927, but Müller did not use a binominal. The usage in the Gmelin 1791 edition of Systema Naturae does not cite Bruguière, 1789, but both cite Müller's informally named Amphitrite with kidney-shaped fan. Although Johann Friedrich Gmelin was a German, not in direct contact with Bruguière as far as we know, the usage is only slightly later than Bruguière, 1789 and it seems likely the Gmelin name usage can be recorded as Amphitrite reniformis Bruguière, 1789, rather than a new name to be treated as a homonym as both derive secondarily from Müller's observation and informal name rather than arising unrelated by coincidence as most homonyms do .
Users are free to adopt a different treatment of these names if they wish. Lastly McIntosh (1922: 233) credits Leuckart 1849 with the authorship, but doesn't explain why (he is wrong). The first author McIntosh cites is the Gmelin 1791 edition of System Naturae, and he apparently didn't notice the name in Bruguière, 1789. [details]
