Synonymy Fauvel 1927 referred Andresia ampullifera to Harmothe areolata. He wrote (in translation): "
This new genus was established by A. Prenant for a Polynoid from Ile Bréhat represented by a unique specimen remarkable for its cirri with large vesicular subterminal bulges. M Prenant having communicated this specimen to us later, we were able to recognize that it is by no means a new species and even less of a new genus, but a beautiful specimen of the shape with swelling cirri of the Harmothoë areolata Grube. This form has already been reported by Saint-Joseph and we have also found it among specimens from Monaco. The modification to the dorsal cirri relates to a more or less large number of these appendages, but generally not on all at once. Under the name of Antinoe nobilis, Ray Lankester (18l6, p. 275, pl. LI, fig. 1-9) has given in this form a description and excellent figures which correspond very well to the specimen of M. Prenant. Those of Ray Lankester came from the island of Herm, a locality relatively close to Bréhat.
