Description approx translation: "Sipunculus pyriformis n. sp. The body is about 1 1/2 Lines long; The neck is very thin, about 12 times as long as the body and can be pulled completely into it. The tentacles are small, he could not count their number as they were extended in extremely short intervals. It is found fairly frequently in Christiansund, Molde and Bergen on loamy sand and in 30-50 Favnes " [details]Publication date Modern authors (eg Cutler, 1994, Stephen & Edmonds, 1972) have cited the article "Danielssen, D. C. (1859). Beretning om en zoologisk Reise foretagen i Sommeren 1857" for the description of Sipunculus pyriformis, but it does not contain that name. Instead the name was first published in the precis of a meeting report (Danielssen, 1960). The brief description is mostly about the dimensions of the Sipunculan. [details] Synonymy Sipunculus pyriformis Danielssen, 1860 cannot be treated as a junior synonym of Onchnesoma steenstrupii of 1875. However, Stephen & Edmonds (1972:163) place Sipunculus pyriformis Danielssen, 1860 as a junior synonym of Onchnesoma steenstrupii Koren & Danielssen, 1875. This is incorrect treatment. If it was a reliable synonym it would be the senior valid name. They cite Theel,1905 that the "name pyriformis was unsatisfactory" (ie not adequately described). Thus the way to place such a name is to regard it as indeterminable, rather than as a synonym of a later name. While it might be convenient to slot in a name with a likely match, it cannot be a reliable synonym if its characteristics are not known sufficiently. [details] |
