Holotype MNHN POLY TYPE 383 [details]
From editor or global species database
Type locality The type locality of Glycera unicornis is unknown. Lamarck and Savigny were reporting on a specimen held in the MNHN collection that presumably had no collection information with it. It could have come from anywhere in the world. [details]
Etymology not stated but 'unicornis' is an adjectival form, unchanging between masculine/feminine, meaning single-horned.
