Etymology As 'penicillus' is a masculine Latin noun diminutive meaning a little brush, it is here regarded as unchanging as a noun in apposition to a feminine genus. If Linnaeus had intended an adjective he would have used 'penicillatus' meaning brush-like. A feminine form 'penicilla' is not possible, and penicilla is also the nominative plural of neuter noun penicillum [details]

Nomenclature It seems clear that Sabella penicillus (was Serpula penicillus) is the valid name for what is known widely as Sabella spallanzanii. For the purposes of stability, following Knight-Jones & Perkins (1998), this is currently ignored. Knight-Jones & Perkins (1988) assign Serpula penicillus (later Sabella penicillus) of Linnaeus, 1758 to Sabella spallanzanii (Gmelin, 1791), which was originally Tubularia spallanzanii, which is named in a later edition of the same work, "Systema naturae". Readers will have to study their article to see why they did this. It does not follow priority. [details]
