From editor or global species database
Authority Confusingly Hartman (1959:403) in her catalogue gave three separate entries for the combination, Cirratulus borealis, with separate authorship to "Savigny in Lamarck" [but there is no mention of Savigny by Lamarck for this taxon], Rathke 1943 (her entry synonymised to Cirriformia tentaculata), and Grube 1851 (her entry synonymised to Cirratulus spectabilis). These last two are presumably her assignments, based on literature, of Rathke's and Grube's subsequent applications of the name Cirratulus borealis, i.e., sensu Rathke or Grube, but they have no independent status and no relevance to the validity of Cirratulus borealis Lamarck. [details]

Synonymy Lamarck appears to rename Lumbricus cirratus [he credits Fabricius's Fauna Groenland with the authorship] as Cirratulus borealis, but this is not valid unless Müller's species name required replacing. C. borealis Lamarck, 1818 is an unnecessary replacement name and thus an objective synonym of Cirratulus cirratus..  [details]
