Authority The authority for 'Hirudinea' is somewhat obscure. It certainly is not Linnaeus, who only used Hirudo in 'Vermes Intestina'. The family-level, as 'Les hirudinées', was used by Lamarck (1818), and he says Savigny used it at order-level, but he does not give a clear citation (dans son second mémoire sur les annelides). He most probably was referring to Savigny's "Systeme des annelides, principalement de celles des cotes de l'Egypte", not offcially published until 1822, where (p.105) Savigny has his 4th Annelid order of 'Les Annelides Hirudinées', or 'Annelides Hirudineae'. By 1884 Claus & Moquin-Tandon are using 'Hirudinei' as a sub-class within Annelida (Annelida presented as a class, but this was then equivalent to phylum-level). The 1832 Handbuch der Zoologie used the spelling 'Hirudinea' as a family (reverse the 'ea' and you have Hirudinae, the standard family ending of today). Thus Savigny appears to be the first to rank Hirudinea above family, and merits the authorship of the higher rank, although his spelling of it was different. [details]
