Etymology The specific epithet multidentatus means 'having many teeth', being composed by the Latin prefix multi- and meaning 'many', and the Latin adjective dentatus, meaning 'having teeth', and refers to the described numerous teeth in the species, that would be present in two different regions of the pharynx: as several rows of tiny teeth at the distal region of a narrower part of the pharynx, and as 7 oval bigger teeth in the transition from the narrower to a proximal broader region of the pharynx.

Status The holotype of Autolytus multidentatus was revised by Nygren (2004: 198), who stated: "The trepan, pharynx structure, and presence of ventral cirri indicates that this is a member of Odontosyllis." The species will become a senior homonym of Odontosyllis multidentata Hartmann-Schröder, 1982, in case the termination of multidentatus has to be corrected to multidentata. The new combination Odontosyllis multidentatus was first published by Rivera & Romero (2008: 24). [details]
