Etymology Not stated. Tetra means four and ceros means horn, thus there is a structure forming four horns present (as ornamentation on the operculum). The plate figure 179 (plate 21) is too small to show this, but Schmarda (1861: 30) has a diagnosis including "operculum quadricorne" [details]

Taxonomy Referred by various authors to recombination as a valid species of genus Spirobranchus, where it remains currently (in 2020), for example Ehlers (1907: in passing in text flow), Johansson (1918: 8-10 for Australia), Day (1967: 803 Madagascar). However, the Hartman catalogue (1959: 587) synonymised the name to Spirobranchus giganteus. [details]
