Etymology Not stated but taenia (Latin from Greek) means ribbon, band, stripe, thus it seems the species was named adjectively (as striped or banded) for the (reddish-violet) coloured band on the shell that Lamarck records in his brief Latin description. There are many species names based on 'taeniatus' [details]

Editor's comment Lamarck refers to page 44 of Daudin (1800) which has Vermetus indicus Daudin, but it is not obvious why. Vermetus indicus is from the Indian Ocean and is regarded as an indeterminable serpulid. [details]Etymology Not stated but taenia (Latin from Greek) means ribbon, band, stripe, thus it seems the species was named adjectively (as striped or banded) for the (reddish-violet) coloured band on the shell that Lamarck records in his brief Latin description.
