  Comment  
See nomenclatural details in CofF. But actually cited first in Fowler (1936:604: Ref. 3016). Most probably a lapsus calami for Polynemus quatordecimfilis Pel, 1851 repeated by Njock (1990), and a misidentification IN Fowler (1936).
  Etymology of generic noun  
Greek, poly = a lot of + Greek,nema = filament (Ref. 45335).
