Etymology McIntosh footnote: "Named after my colleague [at St Andrews University], Prof. Pettigrew, well known for his anatomical researches and for his elaborate investigations on flight." Wikipedia states that "James Bell Pettigrew FRSE FRS FRCPE LLD (26 May 1834 – 30 January 1908) was a Scottish anatomist and noted naturalist, aviation pioneer and museum curator. He was a distinguished naturalist in Britain, and Professor of Anatomy at St Andrews University from 1875 until his death." [details]

Nomenclature There is no Lumbriconereis capensis Grube. See separate entry. In his original description on page 240 McIntosh has a text figure 4 captioned as "Maxillae and dental plates of Lumbriconereis capensis" but in his errata on page VIII he corrects this as "240, in explanation of woodcut, fig. 4 “ capensis” should be pettigrewi.” Thus, as is elsewhere apparent Lumbriconereis capensis Grube does not exist.
