Diagnosis [original diagnosis - Green, 1982] "Small, slender polychaetes with palps inserted dorsally at junction between pro- and peristomium (postectal prostomial margins). Occipital antenna present. Parapodia biramous with reduced and simple lobes. Branchiae may be present on a few antero-median segments, fused to notopodial lobes. Setae simple and include capillaries (smooth or haired) and hooded bidentate hooks. Capillaries long on first setiger, reminiscent of a cephalic cage; hooks become enlarged and modified on a few posterior segments. Anus terminal, surrounded by four digitate lobes." [details]Etymology author: "family name derives from the enlarged modified hooks (Latin "uncus" meaning hook) and affinity with the family Spionidae" [details]
Type designation The type genus is inferred to be Uncispio, based on the formation of the family name, but Green (1982) made only an etymology statement for the family, not the genus, and made no statement linking the genus to the family as type genus. [details]
