Taxonomic remark Grammatical gender of name not clear as derivation not given in Hartlaub (1909). Likely composed of Helgi [Helgi Hundingsbane is a hero in Norse sagas] and cirrha [provided with cirri]. Usage as seen in some specific epithets appears to be female though (Helgicirrha brevistyla; Helgicirrha gemmifera; Helgicirrha medusifera) [details]
