Description Kupriyanova et al (2026) [labelled as a diagnosis, but it is instead a description] "Transverse prostomium attached to dorsal surface of upper lip, basal part as thick crest, eye spots present or absent. Buccal tentacles grooved cylindrical. Peristomium restricted to expanded lips, large upper lip, hood-like, wide button like mid-ventral lower lip. Segment 1 with large ventral lateral lobes connected mid-ventrally. Small triangular lateral lobes on segment 3 and sometimes on segment 2. Anterior ventral pads expanded to form a sucker-like structure with raised ventral margins on segments 3 to 8, followed by discrete non-raised ventral pads becoming progressively narrower and continuing as thin segmented groove to pygidium. Two to three pairs of branchiae with dichotomous branching with main stem ringed, unequal in size, on segments 2 to 4, largest on segment 2. Seventeen to 21 pairs of notopodia with narrow winged capillaries, tips with fine denticles, from segment 4. Neuropodia from segment 5, as low sessile glandular ridges in conjunction with notopodia with short-handled avicular uncini, initially arranged in single rows, from segment 11 to end of notopodia arranged in double intercalated rows, from termination of notopodia to pygidium in single rows. Posterior segments very compact. Pygidium rounded with glandular margins with or without papillae, anal cirri absent [details]

Etymology Terebellosuctoria”, grammatical gender feminine, is formed from Latin “Terebella”, the stem genus of the family, combined with New Latin “suctorius” (suctorial), with linking “o” vowel for euphony and suffix “ia” matching related feminine terebellid genera. (authors, very slightly altered) [details]
