Nomenclatural remarks:
The generic name
Nemertopsis
Bürger, 1895
has the subjective senior synonym,
Colpocephalus
Diesing, 1850
. However, the usage of the name meets the conditions stipulated in Article 23.9.1 of the Code (ICZN 1999). According to Article 23.9.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999), the name
Nemertopsis
is regarded as having precedence over
Colpocephalus
whenever the two names are used as synonymous (
