Etymology Not stated. The generic name if formed by the name of the closely related genus Polydora Bosc, 1802, followed by the suffix -ella, feminine of the Latin suffix -ellus and normally added to a noun to form a diminuitive of that noun, and presumably refers to the smaller size of the type species of the genus, Polydorella prolifera Augener, 1914 in relation to species of Polydora.

Etymology Not stated. The generic name if formed by the name of the closely related genus Polydora Bosc, 1802, followed by the suffix -ella, feminine of the Latin suffix -ellus and normally added to a noun to form a diminuitive of that noun, and presumably refers to the smaller size of the type species of the genus, Polydorella prolifera Augener, 1914 in relation to species of Polydora. [details]Habitat All known species live on the surface of sponges in the Indo-Pacific, and form colonies by asexual paratomy. [details]
