Original name (Basionym): Capitella filiformis Claparède 1864
Described from: France
Type locality: Port-Vendres, Golfe du Lion, Mediterranean Sea
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.
