Neotype NTNU NTNU-VM82082, geounit North Sea [details]
From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Original diagnosis by O.F. Müller (1776: 217): "subdepressa, pedibus acuminatis setiferis." [details]
Neotype NTNU-VM82082, Norway, North Sea, coastal near Grimstad, 58.298°, 8.539°, (58 17'52.8"N, 8 32'20.4"E), low tide, muddy sand and gravel, collected by Eivind Oug. Held at Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet Vitenskapmuseet, Trondheim [details]
Nomenclature As noted by Fauchald nearly 40 years ago (guide to genera, 1977:85), the experimental and ecological literature were then incorrectly using the combination Nereis diversicolor, when Hediste diversicolor is the valid name. Currently there is wide awareness that the name is Hediste diversicolor, but some field & experimental biologists continue to use the invalid name, Nereis diversicolor or other constructs such as Nereis (Hediste) diversicolor. [details]
Type locality Southern Norway Atlantic Ocean (Norway, not Denmark as may be seen in litt. Fide Bakken & Wilson, 2005:525). Teixeira et al. (2022: 18 of 40) established a neotype based on a specimen from the coast near Grimstad, southern Norway, North Sea 58.298° N, 8.539° E. [details]From other sources
Distribution Gulf of St. Lawrence to Puerto Rico [details]
Habitat intertidal, infralittoral and circalittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details]
