Diagnosis [Diagnosis of Blake (2025)] Body elongate, arenicoliform. Prostomium with frontal horns; eyespots present or absent. Parapodia of posterior segments without dorsal or ventral cirri; interramal papillae or lobe present or absent; postchaetal lamellae absent. Branchiae absent. chaetae include capillaries, furcate chaetae, and sometimes a few inconspicuous short spinous chaetae, blunt or bifurcated among capillaries of chaetigers 1–2; large conspicuous acicular spines absent. Pygidium with or without anal cirri. Species of Hyboscolex lack characters that are found on other genera such as acicular spines, branchiae, or prominent podial lobes with dorsal and ventral cirri. As such the nature of the pre-chaetiger region, body shape, annular rings, and pygidial morphology are important. [details]Etymology not stated, but apparently from Greek Hybos, a hump, and Scolex a worm. Both words are masculine. [details] Grammatical gender Hyboscolex is a masculine compound noun, therefore adjectival species-group names should be masculine in agreement. The type of the genus should perhaps have been 'longisetosus' if adjectival, but if treated as a compound noun in apposition, since Schmarda used the noun 'seta' it would remain unchanged. Two modern authors added feminine-looking adjectival names, perhaps influenced by the type species suffix. [details] |
