Etymology Not stated. The specific epithet brevipes is a Latin word formed by brevis, 'short', and pes, 'foot', meaning 'short-footed', and seems to refer to the very short parapodia of the species: "c'est à partir du segment suivant que commencent les pieds. Ceux-ci sont très-courts, au point même d'être cachés par les contours du corps lorsqu'on examine l'animal par sa surface dorsale" (Claparède, 1864: 551). [details]

Editor's comment Sylline is a genus of Autolytinae syllids created by Grube. Sylline Claparède does not exist. However, some subsequent authors have acted as if Claparède created it newly in 1864 for his Sylline brevipes. Sylline brevipes belongs in Exogone. This taxonomic confusion needs to be resolved.
