Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy

• Hartman, O. 1948. The marine annelids erected by Kinberg with notes on some other types in the Swedish State Museum. Arkiv för Zoologi 42A: 1-137, 18 pls [106] (says Boccardia includes Perialla, and the type species is referred to Haswell's species, B. polybranchia because even though Kinberg's name is older, the characters are incompletely known)
