Homonymy Nereis splendida Grube, 1840 is junior to the combination Nereis splendida (Lamarck, 1818) (widely incorrectly cited as authored in Nereis by Blainville). Hesione splendida Lamarck, 1818 is the original name and still valid. As the two taxa are not considered congeneric (Blainville wrongly considered a number of diverse taxa to belong in Nereis) and as they are not primary homonyms (created in the same genus) the junior name is not rejected (ICZN article 59.2). Several authors have regarded Nereis splendida Grube and N. splendida (which they thought to be originally authored by Blainville) as primary homonyms, but this is not the case. [details]

Homonymy Nereis splendida Grube, 1840 is junior to the combination Nereis splendida (Lamarck, 1818) (widely incorrectly cited as authored in Nereis by Blainville). Hesione splendida Lamarck, 1818 is the original name and still valid. As the two taxa are not considered congeneric (Blainville wrongly considered a number of diverse taxa to belong in Nereis) and as they are not primary homonyms (created in the same genus) the junior name is not rejected (ICZN article 59.2). Several authors have regarded Nereis splendida Grube and N. splendida (which they thought to be originally authored by Blainville) as primary homonyms, but this is not the case. [details]

Synonymy According to Gravina et al (2015: 155) the species described as Nereis splendida by Grube, 1840 is the same as Nereis falsa Quatrefages, 1866, and thus is the senior name. However, Salazar-Vallejo et al 2021: 10 include in N. splendida only non-original subsequent N. falsa records (which they regard as misidentifications) as N. falsa (Fauvel 1913 &1923 & 1950, Fauvel & Rullier 1959, Rullier & Amoureux 1969). They exclude N. falsa Quatrefages itself from synonymy with N. splendida. [details]

Type locality Golf of Naples. Grube gives no exact location but states on page 2 of his work that, if not otherwise specified, specimens come from the Golf of Naples.
