WoRMS name details
From editor or global species database
Editor's comment "Paranereis abiuma" as used by Hartman (1959: 163) seems to be a mistaken interpretation, as although Grube does indeed mention a possible creation of a "P. abiuma" name when naming Lycastis abiuma, Grube seems to be unaware the genus name had already been used by Kinberg, 1865 for a different taxon. The connection to the prior Paranereis Kinberg is accidental or unintentional. [details]
Type specimen Type is indeterminable. Bakken (2007:171) noted that "Hartman (1949) placed Paranereis elegans Kinberg, 1865 in synonymy with Pseudonereis variegata although she stated the single specimen was damaged. The same specimen has been examined (SMNH Type-459) and the fragment left is found to be of no scientific value" [details]
