Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Leidy (1855: 146): "Body cylindrical, narrowed at the extremities. Tentaculae numerous, attached laterally to the head, capable of very great extension and contraction by the passage to and fro of blood corpuscles from the cavity of the body. Eyes none. Setae in two rows, three to twelve in a fasciculus, extremities lanceolate. Podal hooks in two rows, short, from twelve to forty in each transverse series, supported at the edge of a laminar process stiffened with fine, simple setae." [details]Etymology Not stated, uncertain. Maybe from the Latin verb torqueo, meaning 'to twist', 'to whirl', or 'to distort', related with the capacity of the worm to extend and subsequently contract its buccal tentacles in order to displace itself on the sediment.
