For this species the name Peraclis diversa is available, but the name Peraclis bispinosa, in common use, refers to a better description of a full grown specimen. Peraclis diversa was first introduced as nomen nudum and probably referred to a damaged juvenile shell. For these reasons it is proposed that the priority rule not be used and to suppress the name Peraclis diversa.
Giovine (1988) is of the opinion that Peraclis diversa is a valid species.
