From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Day (1955) recombined Cirratulus australis Stimpson to Audouinia australis with Cirratulus capensis Schmarda, 1861 as synonym. Later he may have realized this was not possible as C. australis was a junior homonym, and in the 1967 monograph he placed C. australis under C. capensis Schmarda, a later name. [details]
Type locality False Bay, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa [details]
