Etymology The subgeneric name Haplosyllis is composed by the prefix of Greek origin haplo-, meaning 'simple' or 'single', and the name of the stem genus Syllis Savigny in Lamarck, 1818, which is also the type genus of the family Syllidae, and refers to the simple chaetae characterizing the subgenus.
