Type species No type designated? Sars (1862) described two new species, Dasychone argus and Dasychone decora (the latter first in page priority), both now in Branchiomma. Possibly no one has subsequently designated a type species. Hartman (1959) did not in her catalogue, and placed all species in Branchiomma. She presumably followed the much earlier synonymy of Johansson (1927: 158) [details]

Etymology Unusually for the time Sars (1862: 118) gave a full derivation of the etymology from Greek words dasy, meaning hairy, and chone, meaning funnel. Chone is a feminine form of the word, although Brown (1954) also gives 'choanos' as a masculine form. Sars appears to treat the gender as feminine. McIntosh (1923: 273) in a footnote repeats the etymology (from the Greek for 'hairy funnel'), but does not attribute it to Sars [details]

Etymology Unusually for the time Sars (1862: 118) gave a full derivation of the etymology from Greek words dasy, meaning hairy, and chone, meaning funnel. Chone is a feminine form of the word, although Brown (1954) also gives 'choanos' as a masculine form. Sars appears to treat the gender as feminine. McIntosh (1923: 273) in a footnote repeats the etymology (from the Greek for 'hairy funnel'), but does not attribute it to Sars [details]

Grammatical gender Sars and others following him appeared to treat the genus gender as feminine, which fits the genus etymology. While one of Sars new taxa was Dasychone argus, where argus is a noun in apposition, the name of a 'hundred-eyed guardian of Io', the other species was Dasychone decora, using the adjectival feminine of decoratus -a -um, meaning adorned or beautiful. [details]

Synonymy Genus name Dasychone continued to be used by biologists into the 1970s and even 1980s, although Johansson (1927) had long since synonymized it with Branchiomma, and the synonymy had been followed in the Hartman catalogue of 1959. [details]

Type species No type designated? Sars (1862) described two new species, Dasychone argus and Dasychone decora (the latter first in page priority), both now in Branchiomma. Possibly no one has subsequently designated a type species. Hartman (1959) did not in her catalogue, and placed all species in Branchiomma. She presumably followed the much earlier synonymy of Johansson (1927: 158) [details]
