Etymology Not stated. The subgeneric epithet Polymniella is composed by the generic name Polymnia Malmgren, 1867, followed by the Latin suffix -ella (masculine: -ellus), added to a noun in order to form a diminuitive of that noun, and refers presumably to the morphological similarities between the two taxa.

Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Verrill (1900: 660-661): ''This is proposed for the following new species which agrees with Polymnia, except in the arrangement of the branchiae and anterior setae. There are three pairs of arborescent branchiae, but they are situated on segments 2, 3, 6; segments 4 and 5 are without any trace of branchiae in both specimens, though it is possible that they may have been accidentally lost from those segments, and in that case there would have been five pairs; the last pair is larger than the others. The capillary setae begin on the 2d segment (or first branchial) and continue on 22 segments.'' [details]Etymology Not stated.
