Type species Savigny (1822) included Nereis viridis and Nereis maculata (now in Phyllodoce). Type species as Nereis viridis Linnaeus 1767 a subsequent designation by Bergström (1914:123) fide Pleijel (1991:241). Note that Bergström appears to misspell 'viridis' as 'virides' and 'virens' in part of his synonymy, but this may have been intentional. [details]
