Authority Day writes "I have therefore not named my specimens as a new species but as a variety of P. malmgreni", thus this is an infrasubspecific name, not allowed under the Code post 1960. See the notes for Prionospio dubia for analysis of whether the authority should change to Maciolek based on Maciolek's 1985 description because of the ICZN limit on varieties after 1960 (the wording is 'before 1961') [details]Unreviewed
