Description In the reports of the “Porcupine” researches (Carpenter & Jeffreys, 1871), the text indicates the following (page 157): “This discovery of a true Pentacrinus in the European seas crowned the day’s work. Mr. Jeffreys has named it P. Wyville-Thomsoni; Dr. Carpenter will describe it, and give its zoological and geological relations,…” However, the species was first described under the name Wyville Thomson (rather than Charles Wyville Thomson) (1872), who is the correct author. Although Thomson referenced the species name to Jeffreys, the name should be correctly referred to as Pentacrinus wyville-thomsoni Thomson, 1872. [details]
