Authority Salazar-Vallejo and Eibye-Jacobsen (2012: 1398), repeated by Gil & Nishi (2017), prefer an authorship of Grube & Örsted in Grube, 1859, but Grube is clearly the sole author. Örsted was the collector and did not contribute text. Knight-Jones (1997) for example uses only Grube as author. [details]
Etymology Knight-Jones (1997) points out the ending is a genitive, thus belonging to the Pacific. [details]
Spelling Grube used the spelling 'pacifici', presumably as a genitive. He did not use 'pacifica' and thus his name (invariant in combinations) cannot be a senior primary homonym to Sabella pacifica of Fewkes, 1889 (one letter is sufficient difference), although the Berkeley's thought it was, and replaced Fewkes name with Dodecaceria fewkesi. Earlier Hartman (1944: 262) had acted as if Fewkes Sabella pacifica name was preoccupied by Sabella pacifici Grube, 1856, but clearly there is a one letter difference. [details]From other sources
