Etymology The specific epithet elitoralis means 'away from the littoral', and is composed by the Latin prefix e-, meaning 'out' or 'away', and the Latin adjective litoralis, meaning 'of the seashore' or 'littoral'. It refers to the depth range of the species, found in the lower eulittoral and upper archibenthic zone, between 80-510 m, and in opposition to the depth range of the close and similar species Eunereis longissima (Johnston, 1840), usually recorded only in the littoral zone: ''Nur einmal ist - so viel ich weiss - Nereis longissima ausserhalb der Litoralzone angegeben. [...] Auch bei sämtlichen Exemplaren dieser Art aus der Litoralzone, die von mir untersucht worden sind, kommen Paragnathen nur in Gruppe VI vor und sind sehr klein oder fehlen bisweilen ganz. [...] Die drei vorliegenden Vorderenden aus der unteren Elitoral- und der oberen Archibenthalzone, aus ca. 80-295 m Tiefe, sind zwar Nereis longissima sehr ähnlich [...] aber weichen sämtliche in Bezug auf die Bewaffnung der Proboscis ab.'' (Eliaon, 1962: 252). [details]
