Description Lamarck's condensation of Savigny's unpublished description was published first and later Savigny published a longer, but still inadequate, description. Lamarck (1818:316) Original publication: “H. proboscide conicé ; mamillarum setis apice nudis subtruncatis. Hesione festiva Sav.Mss. Habite le goife de Nice. M. Résso. Le corps a un peu moins de reflets que celui da précédent, et ses anneaux sont un peu plus allongés.” Savigny (1822: 40) Redescription: “Espèce des côtes de la Méditerranée, découverte à Nice par M. Risso; communiquée par M. Cuvier. Très-semblable à la précédente , quoique moins grande. Même nombre de seg-mens et de pieds. Trompe conique plutôt que cylindrique. Le corps a fortpeu de reflets, et ses anneaux sont un peu alonges. Je n ai pas vu les lirres,qui étoient tous retirés en dedans. Un second acicule fort grele. Les soiessans lames mobiles, paroissoient tronquées accidentellement à la pointe. [A species from the Mediterranean coast, discovered at Nice by M. Risso; reported by M. Cuvier. Very similar to the previous one, although smaller. Same number of segments and feet. Conical rather than cylindrical proboscis. The body has very little luster, and its rings are somewhat elongated. I did not see the ray florets, which were all retracted inwards. A second, very slender aciculum. The setae, without movable blades, appeared accidentally truncated at the tip.] [details] Status Salazar-Vallejo (2018: 238) placed H. festiva as a nomen nudum, but this is not correct.

Status Salazar-Vallejo (2018: 238) placed H. festiva as a nomen nudum, but this is not correct. It is however inadequately described, thus can be regarded as a taxon inquirendum. The type was not found by Solis-Weiss et al (2004). [details]

Fauvel tentatively placed H. festiva under Hesione pantherina (Risso), but, while it's possible they are actually objective synonyms (being the same specimen in the Paris museum), Lamarck's publication is earlier and H. festiva cannot be a synonym of H. pantherina. The reverse is true.
