 Comments
       
  Comment: Cutler & Cutler (1990:716) argued that the more often used name Phascolosoma perlucens Baird 1868 should be used over the less-used but senior name Sipunculus vermiculus Quatrefages 1865. In spite of their arguments (i.e., to preserve nomenclatural stability and avoid confusion), we follow the Code and let priority dictate Phascolosoma vermiculum (spelled Phascolosoma vermiculus in Saiz Salinas (1994:90 & 203)) as the appropriate name for this taxon. A petition to the ICZN would be required to do otherwise
