Etymology Amphiglena armandi is named after Armand de Quatrefages. Claparède states this in a footnote and explains he did not use the family name 'Quatrefages' because he had difficulty Latinizing it. [details]
Synonymy Claparède synonymised his own new species, Amphiglena armandi, to Amphicora mediterranea at a late stage in preparation of his publication. Tilic, Feerst & Rouse (2019: ) explain thus: "Leydig (1851) published the first description of Amphiglena mediterranea (as Amphicora) from Nice, France. Leydig’s description was brief and he did not leave a type specimen. Claparéde (1864) described Amphiglena armandi from Port-Vendres, France (pp. 492-496). However, in later text (page 588 and 594) he wrote a “Rectification” where he synonymized Amphiglena armandi with Amphicora mediterranea Leydig, 1851. Other junior synonyms of A. mediterranea described from the Mediterranean coast of France include Fabricia gracilis Grube, 1855 and Amphicorina desiderata Quatrefages 1866." See the type species note under the Amphiglena genus entry for why Amphiglena armandi remains the type species of Amphiglena
