The purpose of this application, under Article 81.1 of the Code, is, firstly,to conserve the widespread current usage of the name Chaetopterus variopedatus,which is used by polychaete taxonomists and ecologists around the world despite the fact that it is derived from the officially unpublished works of Renier. Furthermore,we request an amendment to the entry for Renier [1804b] in the Official Index of Works in Zoology to make it clear that some names in that unpublished work have been validated by the Commission.
