Type designation The complex timeline of taxonomic and nomenclatural activity for Nereimyra, Nereis rosea, and related taxa is examined in Pleijel, Rouse & Nygren, (2012: 39). Blainville (1828:468) took Myriana longissima Savigny, 1822 and Castalia rosea (Fabricius, 1780) and placed them in his new genus Nereimyra. He doesn't spell out the new combinations and usages are hard to find, but of necessity we must assume they were created as combinations and can be said to exist from that time (there are no usages reported in BHL). It is important to know that only these two names can be candidates for the type species of Nereimyra. Next Ørsted (1843) placed Nereis rosea in synonymy with Nereis punctata Müller, 1776 and referred Nereis punctata to Castalia Savigny. However, Castalia Savigny is a junior homonym and cannot be used further. Støp-Bowitz (1948: 61) noted that Castalia was preoccupied by Castalia Lamarck, 1819 (Mollusca), and that the oldest available name is Nereimyra. He maintained the synonymy of Nereis rosea to Nereimyra punctata, but does not claim Nereimyra punctata as a new combination (which it presumably is in his work). The Hartman catalogue (1959: 189) has Nereis punctata as type species for Nereimyra. She oddly lists four Nereis original names following her list of nine Nereimyra combinations, and thus records Nereis punctata twice, once as a Nereimyra combination. Nereis rosea is referred to Nereimyra punctata. Pleijel, Rouse & Nygren (2012: 42) correctly report that Hartman has thus indirectly designated Nereis rosea as type species of Nereimyra. It was Hartman's practice to record senior synonyms as the type species rather than the actual type species. Code article 69.2.2 addresses this practice by allowing this indirect (perhaps accidental) fixing of a genus type species. [details]
