Diagnosis Body short and thick, tapering at both ends (cigar-like). Head lacking appendages, with anterior end rounded. Mouth terminal or slightly elongated ventrally but without a ventral slit and developed lips on the sides. Anterior one to three segments uniramous, subsequent ones biramous. Notopodia with capillary and acicular chaetae (latter type often absent in anterior-most chaetigers). Neuropodial tori with uncini bearing two similar-sized teeth generally vertically arranged, but obliquely in some species. Diagnosis from Capa et al. (2012) [details]
Etymology Malmgren (1867: 101) has a footnote giving a Greek alphabet version of Myrio Chele, but he does not provide a translation. In Greek 'myrio' means numberless, innumerable, and 'chele' (feminine) means claw, thus the compound means 'many claws' a reference to the dense hooks of Myriochele. [details]
Grammatical gender Feminine as 'chele' is feminine in Greek. This is consistent with the endings used by subsequent authors. [details]
