Maybe we should just follow Pleijel and Rouse's lead and refer to it as
Diversicolor Müller, 1776 and not worry if it's Hediste diversicolor, Nereis
diversicolor or Nereis (Hediste) diversicolor let alone the ridiculous
Hediste (Nereis) diversicolor.
On another note I am not the L.A. Ward that published the recent paper
on Streblospio larvae in the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and
Ecology. It gave me a start when I saw the reference in a recent issue of
current contents. Won't this drive future polychaete bibliographers
bonkers seeing two L.A. Ward's publishing things on spionids. Since it's
highly unlikely I will ever publish anything else on spionids it will be safe
to assume all future papers belong to this new author.
