Taxonomic remark The name Phyllidoce was first used by Browne (1789) for the hydroid known today as Velella velella, but Browne's work has been suppressed for nomenclatural purposes by the ICZN (Opinion 89).
However, Modeer (1790) used Browne’s Phyllidoce and perhaps validated it by this.
The name Phyllidoce has otherwise not or only extremely rarely been applied and following the opinion of Calder (1988) it should not be used.
