Type species The Eunoë type species is Polynoe nodosa. The first species Malmgren includes under Eunoë is E. oerstedi, evidently his unnecessary new name for Polynoe scabra Sars, and his own Lepidonote scabra, as he includes both in the synonym of E. oerstedi. Later, as usual, the Hartman catalogue (1959: 67) adopted the first species named as the type of the genus, thus E. oerstedi. However, according to Pettibone (1963: 34), Uschakov (1955, page unstated) had already designated the second species included in Eunoë by Malmgren as the type species. This species was Polynoe nodosa Sars, 1861, recombined as Eunoe nodosa (M. Sars, 1861). More recently Barnich & Fiege (2003: 29) also use P nodosa as the type species.  [details]

Etymology Not stated, but almost certainly after Eunoë, a nymph, a daughter of the river god Sangarius in Greek mythology. Eunoë, with accent, was the spelling used by Malmgren. [details]

Grammatical gender Feminine as Eunoë is a nymph, a feminine mythological person [details]

Type species The Eunoë type species is Polynoe nodosa. The first species Malmgren includes under Eunoë is E. oerstedi, evidently his unnecessary new name for Polynoe scabra Sars, and his own Lepidonote scabra, as he includes both in the synonym of E. oerstedi.
