According to the ICZN the published species name is unavailable and we now suggest to replace the name with Raspailia (Hymeraphiopsis) septentrionalis ( holotype deposited at the Zoologische Staatssammlung München, ZSM 20150392, collection data published in Lehnert & Stone 2015). Etymology: from lat. septentrionalis—north, northerly— Raspailia (Hymeraphiopsis) septentrionalis occurs in the North Pacific and the only other member of the subgenus Hymeraphiopsis occurs in the Antarctic .
