Homonymy New name for Langerhansia anoculata Hartman & Fauchald, 1971 nec Hartmann-Schroder, 1962. With the move of Langerhansia anoculata Hartman & Fauchald, 1971 to the genus Typosyllis performed by Licher (1999) the species became a secondary homonym of Typosyllis anoculata Hartmann-Schröder, 1962. For this reason Licher (1999) created the new name Typosyllis parateinopterona to designate the species. [details]
Type locality Atlantic Ocean, northwestern section, deep slope off New England, Atlantic coast of the USA (39º43.6'N, 70º37.4'W). [details]
