Etymology Authors: "The worm is coated with sediment particles, resembling armor. Hephaistos (Ἥφαιστος) was the name of the ancient Greek god of blacksmiths who forged the armor worn by Achilleus. Hephaistos is also spelled Hephaestus. The Japanese name [Yoroi-habouki-zoku] is derived from the type locality (Shimoda), Japanese armor (Yoroi), and flabelligerids in Japanese (Habouki)." [hephaistos is an unmodified noun in apposition] [details]
