Comment on the proposed conservation of Polydora websteri Hartman in Loosanoff & Engle, (Annelida, Polychaeta) by a ruling that it is not to be treated as a replacement name for P. Caeca Webster, 1879, and designation of a lectotype for P. websteri. <em>Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature.</em> 57(2): 110-111., available online at https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/12439182 note: P neocaeca is not a replacement name for P. caeca (despite the related names) [details] Available for editors [request]

Synonymy Radashevsky & Williams (2000) announced that Polydora neocaeca was not a replacement name for P. caeca Webster, 1879, although in Williams & Radashevsky (1999) they had included P. caeca in the synonymy of their new species. At the time P. caeca was unavailable as replaced by P. websteri Hartman, which is since removed as a replacement name by ICZN Opionion 1974 (2001). [details]
Taxonomy Malan et al (2020) suggest that P. haswelli Blake & Kudenov, 1978 type specimens were a mixture of two species, one of which was the subsequently named P. neocaeca Williams & Radashevsky, 1999, which was shell-dwelling, whereas they believe the holotype of P. haswelli was tube-dwelling, although no tube-dwelling P. haswelli have ever been found since. Thus these authors maintain that the junior name P. neocaeca is the valid name for the shellfish pest species present in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Eastern North America, and perhaps South America.
