Etymology Rathke (1843: 182, footnote) explains the derivation of Scalibregma as follows (translated): "The name is composed of (Greek for) front head and (Greek for) a tool for digging, scratching." Brown (1954) translates Greek bregma, -tos, neuter, as front part of the head, and Greek skalis -idos (feminine) as mattock or hoe. Thus Scalibregma means forehead hoe and the genus is neuter as the 2nd word bregma is neuter. [details]

Diagnosis "Body elongate, arenicoliform. Prostomium T-shaped with lateral horns. Peristomium achaetous, surrounding prostomium dorsally and forming upper and lower lips of mouth ventrally. Parapodia of posterior segments with dorsal and ventral cirri; interramal papilla present; postsetal lamellae absent. Branchiae present in anterior segments. Setae include capillaries, lyrate setae, and sometimes inconspicuous blunt, pointed, or bifurcated spinous setae anterior to capillaries of setigers 1 or 1‒2, representing homologues of lyrate setae; large conspicuous acicular spines absent. Pygidium with long anal cirri." (Blake, 2015: 60).  [details]

Etymology Rathke (1843: 182, footnote) explains the derivation of Scalibregma as follows (translated): "The name is composed of (Greek for) front head and (Greek for) a tool for digging, scratching." Brown (1954) translates Greek bregma, -tos, neuter, as front part of the head, and Greek skalis -idos (feminine) as mattock or hoe. Thus Scalibregma means forehead hoe and the genus is neuter as the 2nd word bregma is neuter. [details]

Grammatical gender Neuter. Rathke (1843) gave the type species a neuter species-group name, 'inflatum', consistent with his derivation etymology, and about six of the following names from later authors were given neuter adjectival species-group names. [details]
