From editor or global species database
Taxonomy Wright (1856) and Holdsworth (1855) named species "Actinia ornata." These homonyms were each subsequently interpreted to be junior synonyms of other taxa: Sagartia elegans (Dalyell 1848) in the case of Actinia ornata Wright, 1856 and Sagartia troglodytes (Price in Johnston, 1847) in the case of Actinia ornata Holdsworth, 1855. Shaw et al. (1987) found genetic distinction between populations of Sagartia troglodytes and resurrected the epithet "ornata" for the genetic lineage they distinguished. Because Holdsworth is the author for the older use of the epithet, this is valid.Wright's epithet is a junior objective homonym of Holdsworth's name and junior subjective synonym of S. elegans [details]
