Authority The authority is Grube (1860: 98). This name, in its original combination of Terebella zostericola, has been given the authorship of Örsted in Grube, 1860 by past workers. However, Grube is the author as no previous description exists. Grube took the nomen nudum of Örsted (1844) and, with a question mark attributes the annelid from Denmark he is describing to being what might be what Örsted (1844: 68) had found in the Issefjord but had not described. Örsted's name is not available from his work of 1844 (article 12.1), and if such a nomen nudum name is re-used the author is the worker who makes the name available, in this case Grube, 1860 (see Code Glossary). Note that removing Örsted from the authorship makes no difference to the priority between Terebella zostericola and its synonyms. However, workers who treated Terebella zostericola (subsequently Nicolea zostericola) as if published in 1844, and therefore senior to names published after 1844 (but before 1860), are mistaken. Note that when Malmgren (1866) recombined Terebella zostericola Grube into Nicolea he represented the authority as "Örsted sec. Grube". Here 'sec.' is 'secundum', and is equivalent to 'according to', a similar usage to 'sensu'. Thus the entity Malmgren transferred to Nicolea was that as described by Grube. This is a correct representation of the origin of the name, but the Zoo code of today would not acknowledge any contribution by Örsted - as there was no input from him into Grube's name apart from Grube choosing to re-use a hitherto undefined unavailable name. [details] Synonymy Nicolea zostericola dates from 1860, therefore Nicolea longicornis Sar, 1829 is senior although in the Hartman catalogue (1959: 526) she stated longicornis Sars, 1829 is "Questionably Nicolea zostericola". This must be a mistake by Hartman. She got it from Malmgren (1866). Previously Marenzeller 1884 created a synonymy for Nicolea venustula which includes as junior synonyms Nicolea zostericola, Terebella vestita, Terebella parvula. Later Hessle (1917) also included Nicolea zostericola as junior to Nicolea venustula (Malmgren). However, Herpin (1925) appears to treat Nicolea venustula and Nicolea zostericola as separate taxa. Gil (2011: 1164) also treats both as valid. [details] Unreviewed
