Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Fauchald & Belman (1972: 107): "Notophycids with a muscular proboscis, but without jaws." [details]
Etymology "The generic name refers to the resemblance between this notophycid and members of the Phyllodocidae" (Fauchald & Belman, 1972: 107). The Latin suffix -ella (masculine: -ellus) is added to a noun to form a diminuitive of that noun, so the name Phyllodocella would mean 'a small sized Phyllodocidae'. [details]
