Etymology Ophthalmos (masculine noun) is greek for 'eye'. Modified as an adjective combined with 'poly' (many), thus meaning 'many eyes', the gender forms are Polyophthalmus, -ma, -mum. These are commonly used species name in a number of phyla. Thus Pseudobranchiomma polyophthalma is correct for feminine gender suffix agreement.

Homonymy Pseudopotamilla polyophthalma Hartmann-Schröder, 1965 differs from Pseudopotamilla polyophthalmos (originally Sabella (Potamilla) polyophthalmos Grube, 1878) by two letters. It is thus not a junior homonym. The species name is an adjectival form, whereas 'polyophthalmos' (rarely used) is a modified noun. The difference in letters is not one of the special cases deemed to be homonyms by ICZN Article 58. However, Tovar-Hernández et al (2020:54) state that "By transferring Sabella (Potamilla) polyophthalmos Grube to the genus Pseudopotamilla as we propose, the new combination has two secondary homonyms: P. polyophthalmos (Langerhans, 1884) (from Madeira) and P. polyophthalma Hartmann-Schröder, 1965 (from Punta Lavapié, central Chile). Both statements are not correct. The Langerhans species does not exist, and the Hartmann-Schröder species differs in spelling from Grube's name. [details]
