Etymology Not stated. The generic name is formed by the name of the similar genus Artacama Malmgren, 1866, followed by the Latin suffix -ella, feminine of -ellus and added to a noun to form a diminuitive of that noun, and presumably refers to the smaller size of the new genus, with 15 chaetigerous segments, in relation to the similar genus Artacama, with 17.

Etymology Not stated. The generic name is formed by the name of the similar genus Artacama Malmgren, 1866, followed by the Latin suffix -ella, feminine of -ellus and added to a noun to form a diminuitive of that noun, and presumably refers to the smaller size of the new genus, with 15 chaetigerous segments, in relation to the similar genus Artacama, with 17. [details]Synonymy Garraffoni & Lana (2012) formally subjectively synonymised Artacamella into Trichobranchus. The authors do not use new combination Trichobranchus hancocki, but it is the type of the genus they synonymised so logically it automatically moves to Trichobranchus. The status of the other species included is uncertain as Garraffoni & Lana did not formally appraise whether they belong in Trichobranchus. [details]
