From editor or global species database
Type designation Bush (1905) designated E. gigantea Bush as type (= subjective synonym of Sabella vancouveri (Kinberg, 1867)). Hartman catalogue (1959) has E vancouveri as type species of Eudistylia, but this is not correct, and E gigantea will forever be the type species of Eudistylia regardless of any subjective synonymy. Likewise Fitzhugh (1989: 80) states the Distylia type species is "Sabella vancouveri Kinberg,1867, by original designation." This is not true either. [details]
