Taxonomy Ranzani named & described Phyllodoce maxillosa [his own new genus, not the Phyllodoce of Lamarck). It is actually an acoetid scaleworm belonging in Polyodontes. Oken (1817), in a summary of Ranzani's work, recombined this name into his own genus Eumolpe, but misspelled the species-group name as 'maxima' and thus creating the illusion of a new taxon created by him (Oken). Hartman, for the catalogue listing, reported this name she had indirectly seen used as Eumolpe maxima Oken in Audouin and Milne Edwards, and she correctly referred it to Polydontes, saying "error for Polyodontes maxillosa". [details]
