Nomenclature Spiochaetopterus costarum okudai was created as a variety thus strictly this is a non-available name as varieties are not permitted subsequent to 1960. However, a subsequent usage and description as a subspecies or species may validate the name from the date of that usage. From the code: "15.2. Names published after 1960 with the term "variety" or "form" excluded. A new name published after 1960 expressly as the name of a "variety" or "form" is deemed to be infrasubspecific and as such is not regulated." [details]From other sources
