Synonymy This name has had few mentions and appears to have been overlooked in some major works. It is not indexed in Stephens and Edmonds Sipuncula monograph, although those authors were well aware of the article by Quatrefages, which is historic and well-known for creation of the name 'Gephyrea' for Echiura, Sipuncula, and Priapulida. It is not mentioned in the genus review by Spengel (1912). However, Greef (1879: 136) had synonymised it to Echiurus pallasii (= Lumbricus echiurus), and Skorikov (1909: 80) also includes it in the synonymy of Echiurus echiurus (Pallas) [details]
Type locality Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, Channel coast, Normandy, France, gazetteer location 49.5884°, -1.2655° [details]
