| Notes | |
Nomenclature: There is no valid genus "Corallina" in Phylum Annelida. Corallina Linnaeus, 1758 is a genus of Algae in the Plant Kingdom. [details]
Nomenclature: As Corallina Tubularia Melitensis in Ellis, 1755. Here the Corallina "Tubularia Melitensis" is given species status. There should be no hyphen in the name (necessarily artificially included). This trinominal name does not conform to current syntax conventions. At the time 'Tubularia' was not equivalent to either a subgenus or a species epithet. Ellis was describing a "Tubular Coralline", and his description is of "curious tubes with their Animals ...". There is no separate species entity called Corallina tubularia to which C. tubularia melitensis could be a subspecies. The name Melitensis is Latin for Malta, from where the specimens derived. [details]
Type locality: Mediterranean Sea, Malta [details]
Additional information: Hartman (1959:540) includes a "Corallina tubularia melitensis Ellis in Quatrefages, 1865" in the Sabellidae in her catalogue, referred to Sabella penicillus. Quatrefages (p. 554) had included the name in his synonymy for "Sabella ventilabrum" [Savigny?], also from Malta. [details]
