Etymology Rhynchospio was treated as feminine by Hartman (1936), and explicitly stated as feminine by Radashevsky (2007). No etymology was given by Hartman, but presumably the genus was named as related to Spio, and possessing frontal horns (Greek rhyncho-, provided with a snout or beak). [details]

From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Prostomium with frontal horns, branchiae from chaetiger 2, notochaetae capillaries only, pygidium with cirri or lobes (after Blake, 1996). However, note that the two major characters conventionally used to place taxa in Rhynchospio, the presence of latero-frontal horns on the prostomium, and branchiae beginning from chaetiger 2, are homoplasious and also present in other Spionidae (Radashevsky et al. 2014). [details]

Editor's comment Rhynchospio species described to date are all from the intertidal or very shallow water. This genus does not occur in the deepsea (no reliable records in GBIF as at August 2014) [details]

Etymology Rhynchospio was treated as feminine by Hartman (1936), and explicitly stated as feminine by Radashevsky (2007). No etymology was given by Hartman, but presumably the genus was named as related to Spio, and possessing frontal horns (Greek rhyncho-, provided with a snout or beak). [details]
