From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Whether this name is senior to the eventual name for a similar larval form of Quetieria pelagica as used by Viguier must await a publication with further investigation of the details. It seems Viguier did not intend it as a new species as the description is headed as Polynoe (sp. ?). However, Fauvel (1923) used the name, but only in a list of incertae sedis. [details]
