Abstract
The collecting trips by Ørsted and Kröyer in Central and South America resulted in a series of papers by Grube, the Annulata örstediana which contained the proposal for seven genera and descriptions for 84 species. There are some problems dealing with the correct number of contributions, their publication dates, the correct citation for the authors for each species name and sometimes even for the type locality. In order to improve the current situation, we have consulted the original publications together with the corresponding collections. Our results indicate that there were only three parts in the series which were published in the journal, and repagination in reprints sometimes caused some further confusion. Additionally, we provided some review comments on the species current status and we added a short nomenclatural note on Hemipodus (Polychaeta: Glyceridae) trying to clarify the correct generic name and type species.
Highlights
The series of papers entitled Annulata örstediana described species collected by Anders S
The authors tried to clarify the publication dates for the series
Despite the fact that many species were introduced with two authors (‘Gr. Örsd.’ or ‘Gr. Kr.’), most species have been attributed to Grube alone. This contradicts Recommendation 51E of the Zoological Code (ICZN 1999), but probably because it is just a recommendation, it has not been widely followed. We think this should be modified such that the correct authors are acknowledged and some examples have already been introduced (Hartwich 1993)
Summary
The following list includes only the newly described taxa; they are presented for each family (except in Hirudinea and Sipuncula) and all in an alphabetical sequence. Pagination follows that of the published volumes, not the reprints, and the type locality (depth included only if indicated in the description) and catalogue numbers, if any, have been appended. For the latter, the acronyms employed are ZMUC for the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, and ZMB for the Zoological. This compilation is relevant because in the available lists for tropical American polychaetes (SalazarVallejo 1996, Salazar-Vallejo & LondoñoMesa 2004), the authors or dates were not cited correctly. The generic names were checked against the database of Nomenclator Zoologicus in http:// uio.mbl.edu/NomenclatorZoologicus/
