Taxonomy The name has a confused history. Lamarck (1816) unnecessarily created the new name Tubifex marinus for Lumbricus tubicola of Müller. Later Vaillant (1890) decided it (along with several others) did not belong in Tubifex and he referred T. marinus to Clymene in Maldanidae (Polychaeta) but only as Clymene sp. The Hartman Polychaeta catalogue (1959: 467) records this mention adequately as "Tubifex marinus Lamarck in Vaillant, 1890 (4, p. 402). An indeterminable Clymene sp.". However, when loaded into the original Fauchald database it incorrectly became Tubifex marinus Vaillant, 1890. Earlier McIntosh (1915: 292) had given text flow mentions of the names in the context of Maldanidae, without giving an authority, as (1) referring to Müller's (1788) original name " Lumbricus tubicola is evidently a Maldanid, but there is nothing definite in either figure or description to diagnose the species." and (2) "Tubifex marinus, again, which [Blainville] figures from 0. F. Müller (De Blainville's, Plate 35, fig. 2), resembles Nicomache. " [details]
