From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Dubious name mentioned as apparently a genus in Oken, 1807, but no species name mentioned until Oken, 1815. Probably indeterminable, but authors have treated Spirillum pellucidum as a synonym of Serpula spirillum Linnaeus, 1758. Thus, although if treated as available, Spirillum genus would have priority over Circeis Saint-Joseph, 1894, Spirillum genus is invalid because its sole apparent species, S. pellucidum is a name junior to Serpula spirillum. As always we do not need two names for the same entity. [details]Homonymy Senior homonym of Spirillum Diesing, 1848 [Protozoa?] [details]
