Editor's comment Authors use labels of phenotype 1 and phenotype 2 in their text and figures instead of the species-names identifications they have eventually made. Phenotype 1 (figures 2-5) is the worm they identify as Polydora websteri, and phenotype 2 (figures 6-8) is the worm they identify as a new species they name as Boccardiella quintinensis. In the taxonomic description for Boccardiella quintenensis the authors do not state which phenotype it is (it is phenotype 2) and which registration as holotype applies to it (it might be MGB-001. [details]Etymology Boccardiella quintinensis is named after the type locality, Bahía San Quintín, Baja California. [details] Holotype The holotype registration is not unambiguously stated but is assumed to be specimen MGB-001 (B for Boccardiella) with the Polydora websteri specimen as MGP-001 (P for Polydora) [details] Identification Boccardiella species have branchiae on the first four chaetigers, but this species, B. quintinensis, has branchiae not beginning until chaetiger 7. Therefore it cannot belong in genus Boccardiella. It seems to be a Polydora species. [details] Spelling The species-group name is misspelled as 'quintinenis' in the article title, but correctly spelled elsewhere as 'quintinensis' [details] Type locality holotype MGB-001, San Quintín Bay, Baja California, Mexico, 9 oyster farms within the area 30 24′ N and 30 30′N and 115 57′ W and 116 01′W).
