Synonymy Spirorbis borealis is clearly an objective (not subjective) synonym of Serpula spirorbis (now Spirorbis spirorbis), as it is presented as Daudin's (unnecessary) replacement name for the original 'spirorbis' species-group name of Linnaeus.
.
Later authors through the 20th century often preferred to use the name Spirorbis borealis, rather than the name Spirorbis spirorbis, but this is untenable as Spirorbis spirorbis has no defect in its nomenclature, and is the same species as S. borealis, and has priority. A relatively modern example of this is in De Silva & Knight-Jones (1962: 602) where they include Serpula spirorbis Linnaeus as the first name in their synonymy (for "S. (Laeospira) borealis"), before on the next line they have Spirorbis borealis. This does not make any sense. By 1977 (Knight-Jones & Knight-Jones: 458) the Knight-Joneses had realized this, and were using Spirorbis spirorbis as the valid name, with S. borealis as its junior synonym [details]
Type locality Linnaeus does not give a country location, and nor does Daudin. North Sea & Channel might be assumed. Linnaeus gives the habitat as "in Oceani & Pelagi Fucis, Zoophytis", and Daudin is silent on location. [details]Unreviewed
Distribution Gulf of St. Lawrence (unspecified region), northern Gaspe water, downstream part of middle St. Lawrence estuary, lower St. Lawrence estuary, Prince Edward Island (from the northern tip of Miscou Island, N.B. to Cape Breton Island south of Cheticamp, including the Northumberland Strait and Georges Bay to the Canso Strait causeway), lower North Shore; western slope of Newfoundland, including the southern part of the Strait of Belle Isle but excluding the upper 50m in the area southwest of Newfoundland; Acadian, north side of Cape Cod to Newfoundland, extending south of the subprovince boundary, including Cobscook Bay [details]
Habitat Found from the intertidal zone to 30 m depth, attached to kelps, Irish moss and other algae [details]
Reproduction Hermaphroditic, the forward segments of the abdomen being female and the rear ones being male [details]
