Etymology Authors: "based on a combination of the Latin terebra, borer, and the stem name, Sabella, for the subfamily." Gender unstated, but authors use a feminine-suffix adjectival species-group name, heterouncinata, and previous names ending in Sabella are feminine. [details]
Grammatical gender Not stated, but compound names ending in Sabella are feminine as Sabella itself is feminine, based on treatment by authors of the time and the existence of Sabella as a female personal name [details]
