Editor's comment Eunoe oerstedi appears to be of doubtful validity as it is presented as an unnecessary new name for Polynoe scabra Sars and Lepidonote scabra Orsted, both of which are older and would have priority. Even earlier there may be other usages of Polynoe scabra. It is also difficult to determine whether authors are citing earlier name usages as misidentifications, as the conventions for doing this were less clear than today. Thus the validity of Eunoe oerstedi requires further examination. [details]

Synonymy Pettibone (1954: 218) regarded her concept of E. oerstedi as separate from E. nodosa. She wrote: "Eunoe nodosa has been confused with E. oerstedi. The two species have been separated by Sars (1860), Malmgren (1865), Verrill (1881), Murdoch and Benedict (1885, as Polynoe islandica and P. scabra), and Treadwell (1937). They have been considered to be synonymous and a highly variable species by Theel (1879), Wiren (1883), Fauvel (1923), Ditlevsen (1917), Augener (1928), and Wesenberg-Lund (1950a, b). Based on a study of the material from Point Barrow as well as numerous other specimens in the U. S. National Museum from Greenland and off New England, the two species appear to be separable on the basis of a number of characters as indicated in the key. They agree in having the prostomium with cephalic peaks short and blunt or lacking, the position of the eyes, the dorsal cirri with long papillae, and the palps each with six longitudinal rows of papillae." [details]
