original description (of Nereis willeyi Day, 1934) Day, J.H. (1934). On a collection of South African Polychaeta, with a catalogue of the species recorded from South Africa, Angola, Mosambique, and Madagascar. <em>Journal of the Linnean Society of London, Zoology.</em> 39(263): 15-82., available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1096-3642.1934.tb00259.x
page(s): 39-40, fig. 6a-c; note: a replacement name for Neanthes capensis Willey, 1904, as Day wished to downgrade Neanthes to a subgenus of Nereis, where the recombination Nereis (Perinereis) capensis (Kinberg) would conflict. [details] Available for editors  PDF available [request]
