Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Hartman (1961: 74): "This genus is distinguished from other members of the subfamily EXOGONINAE in that the prostomium and peristomium lack antennae and cirri. The palpi are completely fused and resemble the prostomium of the eunicid genus Nematonereis. The pharynx terminates in a sharp, slender yellow tooth located anteriorly. Parapodia are provided with composite falcigerous setae and simple acicular setae." [details]

Etymology The Latin suffix -ella is a diminuitive, as is used with Exogone to express the small size of the type species. [details]
