Synonymy of Heteromastus filiformis

(Relevant original names and New Zealand records only)

Heteromastus filiformis as:    Capitella filiformis
  Name used as: New entity (basionym) by:  Claparède 1864 (pages 509, illus. Pl.4 fig.10,10a.)
  Record locality: Port-Vendres
  Remarks: Claparède's description fits no known genus and is at variance with Eisig's (1887) Heteromastus. However the name combination is accepted world-wide based on Eisig's later placement. No type. Hutchings & Rainer (1982) erected a neotype, overriding some issues of strict zoological code compliance.
  [Basionym for this record: Capitella filiformis Claparède 1864]
