Diagnosis Fide Salazar-Vallejo, 2017: "Body fusiform, sometimes cylindrical with swollen ends. Cephalic cage chaetae often abundant, delicate. Body papillae abundant, at least dorsally, papillae tiny to very large, sometimes forming large transverse ridges. Notochaetae multiarticulate, at least distally, few, delicate. Neurochaetae aristate, rarely expanded subdistally. Branchiae usually abundant, thin cirriform filaments, sessile on branchial plate, separated into two lateral groups.
Salazar-Vallejo separates Bradabyssa from Brada as follows: Neurochaetae aristate spines; branchiae usually abundant filaments =.Bradabyssa Hartman, 1967. Neurochaetae blunt, falcate spines; branchiae only 8 cirriform filaments = Brada Stimpson, 1853. Salazar-Vallejo (2017: 9 figure 1) illustrates the difference between the two in body shape and neurochaeta type. [details]
Etymology Not stated. Hartman (1967) has nothing on the etymology, but it clearly is Latin 'abyssus' combined with the existing genus Brada, to indicate a deepsea genus. [details]
Grammatical gender Not stated, but feminine as the type species has a feminine adjectival name of 'papillosa'. Also 'abyssus' is a feminine Latin noun (originally from Greek), and Hartman has altered the suffix to the feminine-like form of 'abyssa' [details]
