Metridium Farcimen, The Valid Name Of A Common North Pacific Sea Anemone (Cnidnria : Actiniaria : Acontiaria)

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: Three older names apply to the species described by Fautin et al. in 1990 as Metridium giganteum.They are Actinia priapus Tilesius, 1809, Actinia farcimen Brandt, 1835, and Isometridium rickettsi Carlgren, 1949.We synonymize these four species names.The most senior of the synonyms is a junior homonym; therefore, the valid name of this species is Metridium farcimen (Brandt, 1835).We also synonymize with Metridium the generic names Dendractis Andres, 1883, and Isometridium Carlgren, 1949.
