Etymology Not explicitly stated by the authors. The specific epithet tetrabranchia is composed by the prefix of Greek origin tetra-, meaning 'four', and by the Latin noun of Greek origin branchia, meaning 'gill', and refers presumably to the presence of only four branchiae in the species: "Branchiae are first present from setiger 4 and number only four pairs; [...] branchiae are present on only four segments" (Hartman & Fauchald, 1971: 98-99).
