Homonymy As noted by Mackie & Gobin (1993) Quatrefages used Johnstonia twice in two different families, first Nereididae, then Maldanidae. They applied successfully to the ICZN to have Johnstonia Quatrefages 1866 [maldanid] validated over the senior Johnstonia Quatrefages, 1849/50 [nereidid]. The earlier Johnstonia contains only the indeterminable Johnstonia prolifera Quatrefages, 1850. There are also further subsequent homonyms in other phyla (Mackie & Gobin, 1994). [details]
