treated as valid, with extensive synonymy of usages, including senior synonym Sabella pacifica Fewkes, 1889, which Berkeley & Berkeley, 1954 renamed as Dodecaceria fewkesi, thus making that name junior to Dodecaceria fistulicola Ehlers, 1901

Etymology A fistula is a hole or a pipe. Therefore 'fistulicola' relates to dwelling in a hole or pipe (= the worm tube) [details]
Synonymy Dodecaceria fistulicola Ehlers, 1901 was treated by Reish, 1952 as valid, with an extensive synonymy of usages, including as senior synonym Sabella pacifica Fewkes, 1889, which Berkeley & Berkeley, 1954 thought was a homonym and unnecessarily renamed as Dodecaceria fewkesi. See also Blake (1996:375) who is uncertain if the two (fewkesi/fistulicola) are synonyms and refers also to Gibson (1978) who is unclear in his fewkesi/fistulicola usages. Due to a large geographic separation it seems best to follow Blake and keep D. fistulicola separate from D pacifica (usually reported as D. fewkesi) [details]Unreviewed
