Etymology authors: Terebellides longiseta [sic for longisetus] "refers to the very long and numerous chaetae present in thoracic notopodia." [details]
Spelling Corrected to Terebellides longisetus. Terebellides is a masculine genus, therefore, although seta is a feminine noun, when converted to a compound descriptive adjectival name (longisetus, although not an ideal choice - longisetosus would have been better - is obviously to be considered adjectival rather than a noun in apposition) it must have the masculine -us ending, thus Terebellides longisetus for mandatory adjectival agreement. An example is Psygmobranchus longisetus (Schmarda, 1861) recombined from Protula longiseta Schmarda, 1861. However, Parapar et al used 'longiseta'. [details]
