Etymology Not stated. The generic name Mucibregma is composed by the Latin prefix muci-, variant of muco- and meaning 'mucus', followed by the Latin noun with Greek origin bregma, meaning 'front of the head', and presumably refers to the presence of a mucus membrane encasing the body of the type species, attached anteriorly to the peristomium: ''The whole body was encased in a tough mucus membrane attached anteriorly to large glands on the peristomium'' (Fauchald & Hancock, 1981: 20). [details] Taxonomy Kudenov (1985:339), examined the only specimen and suggested Mucibregma might be a member of Fauveliopsidae.

Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Fauchald & Hancock (1981: 20): ''Scalibregmids with T-shaped prostomium and one peristomial segment branchiae and furcate setae absent. Setae include acicular spines and long, slender, pliable capillary setae.'' [details]Etymology Not stated. The generic name Mucibregma is composed by the Latin prefix muci-, variant of muco- and meaning 'mucus', followed by the Latin noun with Greek origin bregma, meaning 'front of the head', and presumably refers to the presence of a mucus membrane encasing the body of the type species, attached anteriorly to the peristomium: ''The whole body was encased in a tough mucus membrane attached anteriorly to large glands on the peristomium'' (Fauchald & Hancock, 1981: 20). [details] Grammatical gender Neuter. Like Scalibregma, the type genus of the family, Mucibregma should be neuter gender as 'bregma' is a neuter Greek noun. However, Fauchald & Hancock give their sole species a feminine species-group name, spinosa. It should be 'spinosum' [details] Taxonomy Kudenov (1985:339), examined the only specimen and suggested Mucibregma might be a member of Fauveliopsidae. [details] |
