Etymology The specific epithet puctulata is the feminine of the Latin word punctulatus, meaning 'having small spots or punctures' or 'punctulate', and refers to the coloration of the species: "The prevailing colour of the dorsal surface is dark red, usually lighter behind, with innumerable minute colourless dots marking the position of integumentary glands" (Haswell, 1920: 96).

Taxonomy Moved to genus Typosyllis by Hartman (1959: 235). Licher (1999: 307) considered the species as nomen dubium, due to the condition of the holotype: "Der Holotypus ist eingetrocknet und genügt einer Neubeschreibung nicht" ["the holotype is dry and does not enable a redescription"; translated by the Editor]. However, probably it is possible to redescribe the species with base on fresh material collected at the type locality (Port Jackson), as the coloration of the species described by Haswell (1920: 96) seems to enable an easy recognition of the taxon: "The prevailing colour of the dorsal surface is dark red, usually lighter behind, with innumerable minute colourless dots marking the position of integumentary glands. The prostomium and peristomium are much lighter than the body, of a bright orange, the prostomium with an irregular pattern of a darker colour concentrated in front in the position in which frontal eyes usually occur."
