Taxonomy Verrill (1900: 658) placed additional species (besides his C (A) somersi) into his Clymenella subgenus Axiothella by creating combinations as follows: "Such setae are known to be present in the following European species: Clymenella (Axiothella) constricta (Clap.); C. (A.) cirrifera (Lang.); and C. (A.) lyrocephala (Schm.) from Cape of Good Hope. The two northern species, C. (A.) praetermissa (Mg’n.) and C. (A.) polaris (Theel) are not known to have pennate setae, but these may have been accidentally lost or overlooked. [these two species are not Axiothella species and Verrill's combinations as Axiothella have been ignored meantime - but will be added if others are found to have used them] [details]

Classification Verrill (1900: 657) first replaced the homonym Axiothea Malmgren, 1865 with Axiothella and immediately in the same work downgraded Axiothea/Axiothella to a subgenus of Clymenella [details]Diagnosis According to Verrill (1900: 657) Axiothella (his name replacing homonym Axiothea) was a subgenus of Clymenella, differing from the nominal genus only in lacking an anterior collar. [details] Taxonomy Verrill (1900: 658) placed additional species (besides his C (A) somersi) into his Clymenella subgenus Axiothella by creating combinations as follows: "Such setae are known to be present in the following European species: Clymenella (Axiothella) constricta (Clap.); C.
