Type material Spirobranchus manilensis is based on the original material of Pillai (1965) for his unavailable varietal name Pomatoleios kraussii var. manilensis Pillai, 1965. Authors Sivananthan, Shantti, Kupriyanova, Quek, Yap, & Teo in 2021 examined seven specimens from Binakayan, Cavite, Manila Bay, Philippines: NHM1966.33.34/43; material from and among farmed oysters. Pillai's own 'lectotype' (he strangely called this specimen a lectotype) was not examined, but in normal circumstances the seven specimens might be considered syntypes. Subsequently Sivananthan et al (2022) designated a holotype from NHM1965.33.34. Pillai's 'lectotype' specimen could not be found [G. Read, September 2021, updated October 2022] [details]

Authority The name created by Pillai (1965) in the original combination in Potamoleios is permanently unavailable as a variety name created post 1960. Therefore the authors of Spirobranchus manilensis are Sivananthan, Sivalingam, Kupriyanova, Quek, Yap & Teo, 2022. Here is one of the relevant 4th Ediition Code rules: "10.2. Availability of infrasubspecific names. An infrasubspecific name is not available [Art. 45.5] from its original publication, unless it was published before 1961 for a "variety" or "form" and is deemed to be available under Art. 45.6.4.1. If an author uses a name, previously published at infrasubspecific rank, in a way which makes it available for a species or subspecies, that author thereby establishes it as a new name and it takes his or her authorship [Art. 45.5.1] " The WoRMS editor initially treated the first redescription by Sivananthan et al (2021) as a valid new name, but the name created by them in 2021 in fact remained unavailable, as a name published after 1999 must be explicitly indicated as new (Article 16.1). Subsequently, Sivananthan (2022: 397) have explicitly named Spirobranchus manilensis as a new species, with a holotype designated by them. [G Read, September 2021, updated October 2022] [details]
