Etymology Not stated by the author, uncertain. The Greek prefix leio- means 'smooth', and so the generic name seems to refer to the smooth body surface of the capitellid, without a visible division between thorax and abdomen ("mit glattem, nicht gefelderten Körper, Thorax und Abdomen äußerlich nicht geschieden"; Ehlers, 1908: 130). The sense of the word 'chrus' is not known. [details]
