From editor or global species database
Specimen Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. Solis-Weiss et al (2004) list syntypes of Eunice rousseau as being from Martinique, MNHN POLY TYPE 610, 611. However, Quatrefages appears to use specimens from St Jean de Luz in southern France for his description. [details]
Status Based on morphology of non-type material Eunice roussaei is used by Zanol & Bettoso (2006) as the valid name for a large Eunice from the Adriatic [details]
Type locality Quatrefages (1866) examined specimens from both Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Bay of Biscay, southern Atlantic France) and Martinique (Antilles), the latter collected for the Paris Museum by Plée et Neumann de Moncati. Although Quatrefages included as a synonym Eunice gigantea as described by Cuvier (originally described by Lamarck), there is no evidence his description was based on an E. gigantea specimen (cf comments of Fauchald (1992: 288). Quatrefages's description was seemingly based on the St Jean de Luz French material but unfortunately he did not exclude the Martinique specimens from his account. Therefore the type locality is ambiguous. [details]
