Pettibone uses "Syllides longocirrata Oersted, 1845" whereas the original description was as Syllis (Syllides) so a genus recombination has occurred. Also strictly the epithet should be 'longocirratus' as first used by Ehlers (1897)

Spelling Syllides is masculine so the adjectival species-group name must be 'longocirratus' Authors continue not to be consistent with the suffix, or appear unaware that 'longocirrata' is not the spelling (eg Lucas et al 2018 who use 'Syllides longocirrata Ørsted, 1845' when '-cirratus' is correct and Syllides used at full genus level is a recombination meaning Ørsted should be in parenthesis).
