>Romijn (person or geographical name?)
>                Alkmaria romijni  Horst,1919

Horst's original decription gives the answer:
"Eenigen tijd geleden ontving ik van Dr. Romijn .... drie kleine Anneliden
uit het Almaarder meer ..."

The species is named after its type locality (Alkmaarder meer) and its
collector, Dr Romijn.
