From editor or global species database
Classification Orensanz placed Mammiphitime into Iphitimidae, hence the genus name. However, the family (and Iphitime) is included in Dorvilleidae currently. [details]
Diagnosis Based on family Diagnosis of Orensanz (1990), plus his diagnosis of Mammiphitime:
Iphitimidae: "Eunicemorphs with maxillae of ctenognath architecture. Prostomium with 4 short appendages: 2 dorsal antennae and 2 ventral palps, biarticulate in their plesiomorphic condition. Parapodia uniramous, with simple supra-acicular and composite subacicular selae; extra ventral acicular lobe, conical and retractile, with protroding acicular setae. Two mandibles, not fused along symphysis. Eight pairs of maxillae, 4 corresponding to superior and 4 to inferior elements of dorvilleids. First pair of superior elements in the form of large forceps ('icetong- shaped maxillae') in adults, denticulated in juveniles, posteriorly fused to form 'pseudocarriers.' Inferior elements displaced forward, expanded, with spinulate border.
Genus Mammiphitime: Iphitimidae with Prostomiurn without ventral palps. Neuropodia distally partitioned into low lobes, including round presetal lobe and ventral retractile lobe. Median and posterior segments with large dorsal lobes
[details]
Etymology author: Mammiphitime is "from 'mamma' (Latin: mother, breast), referring to the presence of mammillate dorsal lobes, and Iphitime, nominal genus" of Iphitimidae, in which Orensanz placed the genus. Iphitime is feminine. [details]
Grammatical gender Feminine. Iphitime is a feminine personal name. [details]
Synonymy There is no formal synonymy in Eibye-Jacobsen & Kristensen (1994) but in their analysis it occurs in a polytomy with Ophryotrocha and "the validity of Mammiphitime appears to be especially dubious". Similarly Oug (1994) did not use the genus. Wiklund et al (2021: 372) again doubt Mammiphione is separate from Ophryotrocha, with indirect molecular evidence it is the same (page 372), but they still give it a genus listing. As this genus has been named for 32 years without further support for its validity being published, it is here regarded as a synonym of Ophryotrocha. [details]Unreviewed
