Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Knox (1060: 105): "Palps fused at the base, an occipital flap present, antennae and cirri articulated with short cylindrical rings, ventral cirri leaflike. Pharynx with a single, large, terminal tooth and a denticulated rim. Parapodia and dorsal cirri widely separated with an aciculum below the dorsal cirrus." [details]
Etymology Not stated by the author. The generic name Eudontosyllis refers likely to the presence of "a large, blunt, triangular, terminal tooth" in the pharynx of the type species, together with Syllis, the type genus of the family Syllidae. [details]
