Authority Although the ICZN Opinion (1984) attributes the authorship to Savigny, 1818, following Muir's (1979) application, this is incorrect. Lamarck (1818) is the author. See eg. the discussion on page 101 in Bieler & Petit (2011 Catalogue of Recent and fossil "worm-snail" taxa of the families Vermetidae, Siliquariidae, and Turritellidae (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda). Zootaxa (2948): 1-103, and also the comments in Solis-Weiss et al (2004) regarding the Lamarck/Savigny situation.

Nomenclature Type species designated by plenary powers of ICZN to Polynoe scolopendrina Savigny, 1822, a species published subsequent to the genus Polynoe Lamarck, 1818 [not Savigny, 1818]. This change to a species not included in the original description of the genus goes against the Code rule and is thus ill-advised. [details]
Spelling The Hartman catalogue (1959: 98) for unknown reasons, but perhaps influenced by usages, has the main entry for Polynoe with an e-diaeresis (Polynoë), and the only variant spelling as Polinoe, but by 1965 in the supplement p.11 Hartman was using the code-required plain Polynoe. Lamarck had originally used Polynoe as the Latin spelling and Polynoë as the colloquial French spelling. Carrington (1865) created the variant spelling Polynoa, or perhaps was following Quatrefages (1857) who had used it in the English translation of his "The rambles of a naturalist on the coasts of France, Spain, and Sicily". Others have also used 'Polynoa", and Neave (Nomen. Zool.) wrongly credits Carrington for the first usage of Polynoa, while clearly indicating it was a mistake for Polynoe. [details]
