None. Begins: "Hartman (1965) described a nereidid species, Namalycastis profundus [sic], based on a deep-sea specimen collected from off Bermuda (1000 m deep) in the NW Atlantic. Although Hartman (1965) did not mention its etymology, the specific name is believed to be derived from the Latin adjective “profund-” meaning “deep.” Because Namalycastis is feminine in gender (Glasby et al. 2016), the original specific name as masculine was incorrect and must be corrected to N. profunda for mandatory gender agreement under Articles 31.2 and 34.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (hereafter, “the Code”) (International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature 1999). […] another species, Rullierinereis profunda Imajima, 2009, was described based on 14 specimens collected from off the Pacific coast of northern Japan (Imajima, 2009). The specific name, however, is a junior secondary homonym of R. profunda (Hartman, 1965). This homonymy has been already noted at the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) database since 2011 (see “Nomenclature” in Read 2017) but it remained unreplaced until today. To resolve this homonymy, we hereby erect a new replacement name R. imajimai nom. nov. for R. profunda Imajima, 2009, according to Articles 59 and 60 of the Code. Further, we propose an amended generic diagnosis of Rullierinereis. Corresponding author email: echiura.sipuncula@gmail.com
