Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Hartman (1936: 123): "Prostomium with 2 pairs of anterolateral clavate antennae; first 3 segments free from one another and from prostomium, but segment 1 greatly reduced and present only as lateral expansion from which first pair of tentacles arise; segment 2 reduced dorsally but well developed ventrally; segment 3 normally developed. Formula of tentacuar cirri: 1 + S 1/1 + S 1/N. Parapodia uniramous, with only composite setae. Dorsal cirri foliaceous." [details]
Etymology Not stated. The name Clavadoce is composed by the Latin noun clava, meaning 'club', and, apparently, the ending of the name of the type genus of the family Phyllodocidae, Phyllodoce Lamarck, 1818 (a water nymph in Greek mythology). It refers presumably to the shape of the antennae and tentacular cirri of the new phyllodocid genus, which are described as being "clavate instead of filiform" (Hartman, 1936: 123). The word doce could also be used as a combining form of Greek origin, meaning 'to seem'. [details]
