Status ten Hove & Kupriyanova (2009) state that Vermilia is confused [unusable?] and refer taxa elsewhere. They state that for "V. rostrata see Spirobranchus, other taxa referrable to Vermiliopsis sensu lato, Pomatoceros, Hydroides, and even to vermetid gastropods" The Hartman catalogue did not attempt a type species and referred the genus and Vermilia rostrata Lamarck to Spirobranchus, with species variously distributed. [details]

Etymology Ultimately likely from Vermes than other sources but obscure. Lamarck (1818: 368) writes "Les serpulées auxquelles nous donnons maintenant le nom de vermilies ...". Presumably his 'we give now the name" refers to himself. The spelling 'vermilie' or 'vermilies' in French does not appear to have a modern equivalent, and its earliest historic use in biological literature appears to be in Lamarck. His Latinization is as Vermilia and he adds eight species with feminine specific-name adjectives, thus he intended feminine gender. The '-ilia' appears not related to a separate Latin root, but rather an ad hoc modification of his French '-ilie', but he could have created vermilia then vermilie. [details]

Grammatical gender Feminine [details]

Status ten Hove & Kupriyanova (2009) state that Vermilia is confused [unusable?] and refer taxa elsewhere. They state that for "V. rostrata see Spirobranchus, other taxa referrable to Vermiliopsis sensu lato, Pomatoceros, Hydroides, and even to vermetid gastropods" The Hartman catalogue did not attempt a type species and referred the genus and Vermilia rostrata Lamarck to Spirobranchus, with species variously distributed. [details]
