Nomenclature Savigny evidently got the name 'Nereis pulsatoria' from prior usage in works of Montagu and Leach, but probably based his description on Paris museum specimens (of unknown origin). This prior usage is confirmed by information in McIntosh (1910: 280 on N. pelagica) that "This is probably the species figured by Montagu (MS. Drawings, Linn. Soc, Plate VIII, fig. 2, 1808) as Nereis pulsatoria". However, it is not known if the name was listed by Leach in a publication. It is not in the edition of Leach's 'Annulosa' that is available digitized. It seems unlikely it appeared in a Montagu publication.
Sherborn in Index Animalium p.5243 places Lycoris pulsatoria Lamarck 1818 as a nomen nudum, but for unknown reasons also tags Lycoris pulsatoria Savigny 1822 as a nomen nudum. Sherborn wrongly gives Nereis pulsatoria Audouin & Edwards 1829: 201 as a validly authored name. [details]

Authority The name 'Nereis pulsatoria' clearly came from Montagu and was adopted by Savigny, but probably Montagu's name was an unpublished manuscript name. However, many subsequent authors (eg Johnston 1865: 158) indicated Montagu as the author. [details]
