Cases of homonymy, unavailability, and validity of names of some nemertines are considered. New names are suggested: Tetranemertes (=Nemertes Friedrich, 1955, non Cuvier, 1817, nec Johnston, 1837), Coeiana (= Chunianna Coe, 1954 nom. nudum), Nemertobus (= Obnemertes Korotkevitsch, 1960 nom. nudum), Alexandronemertes ductor (= Nectonemertes mollis Korotkevitsch, 1971 nom. nudum), Micrura kulikovae (= M. bella Kulikova, 1984, non Stimpson, 1857), Tetrastemma stimpsoni (= T. stigmatum Yamaoka, 1940, non Stimpson, 1857), Oerstedia wheeleri (= O. maculata Wheeler, 1934, non Quatrefages, 1846). New taxa of pelagic nemertines are recognized: LORANEMERTES gen. n., [type species: Obnemertes nana], ALEXANDRONEMERTES gen. n., [type species Dinonemertes mollis], LEONOVIANA subgen. n. [type species Chunianna pacifica]. Validity of Akrostomum Grube, 1840 and Micrura festiva Takakura, 1898 are restored.
