Fauchald lists the type species of Circeis as being Serpula spirillum Linnaeus, but this is impossible as Saint-Joseph created Circeis as a monotypic genus for Circeis armoricana. The explanation is that at the time C. armoricana had become considered a synonym of Serpula spirillum. They are distinct according to Rzhavsky (2014)

Etymology Not known. Saint-Joseph gives no information on the derivation. It is perhaps unlikely to be a modification of Circe, the sorceress in Homer's Odyssey. The only other apparent use of the word in taxonomy outside of the annelid genus is for a Nymphalidae butterfly, Acraea circeis Drury 1782. [details]
Type species The type by monotypy is Circeis armoricana. Hartman (catalogue, 1959: 570) lists only C. armoricana as a Circeis species. However, Fauchald (1977) lists the type species of Circeis as being Serpula spirillum Linnaeus, but this is impossible as Saint-Joseph created Circeis as a monotypic genus for Circeis armoricana. The explanation for the error is that at the time Fauchald was publishing his guide to genera Circeis armoricana had become considered a synonym of Serpula spirillum. This is no longer the situation, and they are distinct according to Rzhavsky et al (2014). Even if C. armoricana was a synonym of Serpula spirillum it would remain type species of Circeis. Type species are permanent and are unaffected by their possible synonymies. [details]
