Type species Lumbricus cirratus O. F. Müller 1776 as in Fauchald, 1977:29. Lamarck appears to rename Lumbricus cirratus [he credits Fabricius's Fauna Groenland with the authorship] as Cirratulus borealis, but this is not valid unless Müller's species name required replacing. C. borealis Lamarck, 1818 is an unnecessary replacement name and thus an objective synonym of Cirratulus cirratus.

As a side issue if Lamarck's specimens could be relocated this matter of C. borealis sensu Lamarck may need revisting. A note in Blake 1996:347 indicates Mary Petersen had determined “C. borealis Lamarck 1818 is distinct from Lumbricus cirratus …”, and earlier Petersen (1991:abstract only) had stated that "Cirratulus borealis Lamarck is considered distinct; it differs from C. cirratus (0. F. Muller) in having two branchiae per segment throughout rather than just anterior." However, it is unknown what relevant material was used for this observation. It would need to be associated with Lamarck, but there is no 'borealis' type at the MNHN according to Solis-Weiss et al's (2004) catalogue [details]

Etymology Not stated by Lamarck, but evidently Cirratulus is a modification based on cirratus, for the characteristic long, tangled branchial cirri and palps, curled when preserved or when the worm is disturbed. According to Brown (1954: 490) cirratulus (somewhat curled) is a diminutive of cirratus (curled).  [details]

Diagnosis From Blake & Magalhaes (2019). Prostomium wedge-shaped, elongate or blunt, usually with transverse rows of eyespots; peristomium with 2–3 annulations. [Multitentaculate with] two or [usually} more grooved tentacular filaments arising from a single anterior segment. Branchiae first present from same chaetiger as tentacular filaments, occurring singly, and continuing over most of body to posterior end. Parapodial rami well separated. Chaetae including capillaries and acicular spines. Pygidium with one or more lobes surrounding anus. [details]

Etymology Not stated by Lamarck, but evidently Cirratulus is a modification based on cirratus, for the characteristic long, tangled branchial cirri and palps, curled when preserved or when the worm is disturbed. According to Brown (1954: 490) cirratulus (somewhat curled) is a diminutive of cirratus (curled).  [details]

Grammatical gender Masculine. Based on a masculine noun, and almost invariably species-group adjectival names have had masculine-suffix endings [details]

Publication date Hartman's catalogue (1959:402) incorrectly dated Cirratulus as in Lamarck 1801 because she linked the wrong Lamarck work to a subsequent usage in Audouin & Milne Edwards (1833:407). Blake (1996:347) correctly dates Cirratulus as Lamarck, 1818. Lamarck (1801) has no cirratulids. [details]

Type species Lumbricus cirratus O. F. Müller 1776 as in Fauchald, 1977:29. Lamarck appears to rename Lumbricus cirratus [he credits Fabricius's Fauna Groenland with the authorship] as Cirratulus borealis, but this is not valid unless Müller's species name required replacing. C. borealis Lamarck, 1818 is an unnecessary replacement name and thus an objective synonym of Cirratulus cirratus.

As a side issue if Lamarck's specimens could be relocated this matter of C. borealis sensu Lamarck may need revisting. A note in Blake 1996:347 indicates Mary Petersen had determined “C. borealis Lamarck 1818 is distinct from Lumbricus cirratus …”, and earlier Petersen (1991:abstract only) had stated that "Cirratulus borealis Lamarck is considered distinct; it differs from C. cirratus (0. F. Muller) in having two branchiae per segment throughout rather than just anterior." However, it is unknown what relevant material was used for this observation. It would need to be associated with Lamarck, but there is no 'borealis' type at the MNHN according to Solis-Weiss et al's (2004) catalogue [details]
