Etymology Not stated. The generic name Macrochaeta is composed by the prefix of Greek origin macro-, meaning 'large', 'long' or 'great', and the Greek word chaeta, meaning 'hair', and presumably refers to the big size of the neuropodial chaetae. [details]
Homonymy Macrochaeta Grube, 1850 is the senior homonym to Macrochaeta Bretscher, 1896 in Annelida: Naididae (apparently subsequently replaced by a junior synonym, genus Vejdovskyella Michaelsen, 1903). There is also a botany Macrochaeta E.G. von Steudel, 1854 in Poaceae. [details]
