Etymology Not stated by Linnaeus. According to Merriam Webster it is New Latin, from diminutive of Latin terebra borer or perforate, although this suggestion may be just speculation. The association is perhaps that Terebella can be found in holes or borings.The qualifier -ellus -a -um is either a diminutive or indicating somewhat. As Linnaeus used the feminine form Terebella, the genus is feminine. Also his type species was Terebella lapidaria (feminine) from the adjective lapidarius -a -um, meaning belonging to stones. [details]

From editor or global species database
Classification Type genus of all Terebella-based family group names. Stiller et al (2020) revived 'Terebellini', first used by Holthe (1986) [details]

Diagnosis Three pairs of branched branchiae from segment 2. Lateral lobes absent. Notopodia from segment 4, continue for a variable number of segments; notosetae distally serrated. Neuropodia with uncini from segment 5, arranged in double rows, face to face, or alternate rows on posterior thorax. Nephridial papillae from segment 3. [details]

Etymology Not stated by Linnaeus. According to Merriam Webster it is New Latin, from diminutive of Latin terebra borer or perforate, although this suggestion may be just speculation. The association is perhaps that Terebella can be found in holes or borings.The qualifier -ellus -a -um is either a diminutive or indicating somewhat. As Linnaeus used the feminine form Terebella, the genus is feminine. Also his type species was Terebella lapidaria (feminine) from the adjective lapidarius -a -um, meaning belonging to stones. [details]

Grammatical gender Feminine, as -ella is the feminine of the diminutive -ellus -a -um. [details]

Type species Type species T. lapidaria Linnaeus 1767 by monotypy. Listing in Fauchald, 1977. [details]

Unreviewed
Spelling M'Harzi (1999) spelled it Terebellia [details]
