Etymology Named after G. de Boccard, Italian naturalist and malacologist: "Tali differenze [from the genus Polydora] sono di tanta importanza da autorizzare la creazione di un nuovo genere. Provvisoriamente, non essendo nota con questi caratteri che una sola specie, credo sufficente distinguerla col farne un sottogenere, che intitolo dal nome di persona amica" (Carazzi, 1893: 17).

Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Carazzi (1893: 15): "Le branchie cominciano al secondo segmento setigero, l'armatura del 5.^o segmento porta uncini di due sorta ed è sprovvista di lancette." [details]

Grammatical gender G. de Boccard is assumed to be a male, but Carazzi applies what appears to be a feminine suffix for 'Boccardia', perhaps in agreement with the nominal genus Polydora which is also feminine. [details]
