Taxonomy Neanthes caudata is a recombination of apparently the oldest name (Spio caudatus) but Neanthes acuminata is the current valid scientific name because delle Chiaje's usage in 1827 was not a homonym but simply a misidentification of Spio caudatus Lamarck, 1818.
There is unresolved speciation present. According to Reish et al (2014:271) "The polychaete Neanthes acuminata (Ehlers, 1868) (Annelida: Nereididae) species complex is cosmopolitan in distribution and comprises at least four species (Weinberg et al., 1990). Neanthes acuminata is the only valid scientific name for this group. It is known by this name from New England to North Carolina (Day, 1973). The southern California population was initially referred to the European species N. caudata (delle Chiaje, 1841) (Reish, 1957), which was later considered a synonym of N. arenaceodentata Moore, 1903 by Pettibone (1963). This name was applied to the California population by Reish and Alosi (1968), but Day (1973) considered both N. caudata and N. arenaceodentata synonyms of N. acuminata. Neanthes cricognatha (Ehlers, 1904), also considered part of the complex, is known from India and Hong Kong (Fauvel, 1950) and Australia and New Zealand." [details]
