Etymology No etymology stated. 'concharum' is the invariant genitive plural of 'concha', a Latin noun meaning a snail or shell, thus Polydora concharum is a species associated with molluscs, in this case Arctica islandica, a bivalve. [details]Publication date Radashevsky et al (2022) confirm the publication date for P. concharum is November 1879 as already determined here (see source entry, and as cited by Verrill, 1881), rather than the1880 used by most prior authors. [details]
Type designation Radashevsky et al (2022) present a photo of type specimens, discussion of tracing of type specimens, and designate a lectotype, from sample YPM IZ 002687.AN [details]
