Type locality River Danube at Orsova-port (44.7253, 22.3961), western Romania, located halfway between the Rapids of the Iron Gates and the narrow gorge of the Cazane "we took the opportunity to explore a little the fauna of cataracts, then the great depths of Svinitza and Cazane" [details]

Nomenclature In the main text of Băcescu (1948: 245) the new subspecies is named as Manayunkia caspica danubialis linked to plate 1, figure 6 and to a footnote description as follows: "Taille: 1,2 & 2,3 mm; 11 & 13 appendices branchiaux de chaque de la cote; 6 longues soies a la partie superieure du 3-e et du 4e segment thoracique et 4 (sur le 3-e segment) soles plus courtes, a celle inferieure. Plus de 20 soles en peigae dans chaque evantail lateral de l’abdomen (seulement 16 a son baut)." However, the caption for plate 1 figure 6 has the name Manayunkia caspica ssp fluviatilis. This name is assumed to be present in error, as later usages use the name in the text body, presented with the link to the plate figure and the footnote description. A further error is that the captions with plate 1 and plate 2 should be swapped. It looks like it is figure 6 in plate 2 that is the photo of Manayunkia caspica ssp danubialis [details]

Nomenclature In the main text of Băcescu (1948: 245) the new subspecies is named as Manayunkia caspica danubialis linked to plate 1, figure 6 and to a footnote description as follows: "Taille: 1,2 & 2,3 mm; 11 & 13 appendices branchiaux de chaque de la cote; 6 longues soies a la partie superieure du 3-e et du 4e segment thoracique et 4 (sur le 3-e segment) soles plus courtes, a celle inferieure. Plus de 20 soles en peigae dans chaque evantail lateral de l’abdomen (seulement 16 a son baut)." However, the caption for plate 1 figure 6 has the name Manayunkia caspica ssp fluviatilis. This name is assumed to be present in error, as later usages use the name in the text body, presented with the link to the plate figure and the footnote description. A further error is that the captions with plate 1 and plate 2 should be swapped. It looks like it is figure 6 in plate 2 that is the photo of Manayunkia caspica ssp danubialis [details]Publication date Although Bick et al 2024 cite Băcescu (1944) for the original description of the name Manayunkia caspica danubialis, the name does NOT appear in the 1944 work and there is NO description of a Manayunkia. Presence of a new subspecies of Manayunkia 'caspia' [sic for caspica] in the Cazane region of the Danube is mentioned by Băcescu in 1944, but the subspecies is not named. Here is the relevant sentence translated to English: "Smaller than Hypania but still as numerous as its existence there was little expected, is another Polychaete [unknown word omitted] Manayunkia caspia. n. sbsp. for our country." Later Băcescu (1948) did name a subspecies. [details]
Type locality River Danube at Orsova-port (44.7253, 22.3961), western Romania, located halfway between the Rapids of the Iron Gates and the narrow gorge of the Cazane "we took the opportunity to explore a little the fauna of cataracts, then the great depths of Svinitza and Cazane" [details]
