Type species Chamberlin stated clearly the type species was Cirratulus viridis Langerhans (type by original designation). However the type species is as Cirratulus bioculatus Keferstein 1862 in Fauchald, 1977:29 & Day (1967:507), and both of these claims were incorrect. Probably meant as the then current valid name basionym reference, because C. viridis has been synonymised to C. bioculatus in the past. [details]

Etymology Unstated but presumably named after Maurice Caullery, a prolific contemporary French author to Chamberlin. The form 'Caulleriella' is a diminutive, and -ella diminutives seem always to be treated as feminine. Examples of -ella in the Code indicate it is feminine [details]Grammatical gender Feminine. Treated as feminine by subsequent authors, and Latinised -ella diminutives seem to be treated as feminine, including in Code examples (eg article 30.1.3). Although Caullery was male the compound genus noun takes the gender of the suffix [details]
Taxonomy Chamberlin introduced Caulleriella as a new genus in a key, and in a footnote he wrote: "Genotype, C. viridis (Langerhans) (Cirratulus viridis Langerhans). Including also Helerocirrus caput-esocis St. Joseph, Cirratulus fragilis Leidy, and perhaps Cirratulus bioculatus Keferstein." [details]
