Homonymy Galeolaria Lamarck, 1818 is the senior homonym of Galeolaria Blainville, 1830 in Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Siphonophorae, a thus invalid name replaced by Galeta Stechow, 1921, in turn regarded as a junior synonym of Sulculeolaria Blainville, 1830. The Cnidaria names originally placed under the cnidarian Galeolaria genus are thus recombined into Sulculeolaria.
Note that Dew (1959:37) has a comment on the siphonophore taxon Galeolaria australis (in the context of Galeolaria the serpulid polychaete genus name). This comment might be open to misinterpretation. It was not a case of a cnidarian initially misidentified as a polychaete, rather the two genera names were simply accidental homonyms.

Authority Hartman catalogue credits Savigny with the authorship of Galeolaria but this appears baseless. The taxa came to the Paris museum from Australia, not the Red Sea, and a footnote in Savigny's 1822 Egypt monograph credits the authorship to Lamarck.
