Etymology Not stated. However, 'oligo' is few and 'bregma' is forehead. Assuming 'bregma' is included simply to link the genus to 'Scalibregma', the first described genus in the family, the authors were thus noting few of something in this genus, but it is not obvious what feature they are remarking on. Scalibregma is neuter so Oligobregma is neuter also, but contrarily the authors created or maintained feminine species-group endings for the species they newly included in the genus. [details]

Diagnosis "Body elongate and arenicoliform. Prostomium T-shaped with two prominent frontal horns; eyes present or absent; nuchal organs present. Peristomium achaetous, surrounding prostomium dorsally and forming upper and lower lips of mouth ventrally. Branchiae absent. Parapodia with well-developed dorsal and ventral cirri on posterior segments; interramal papilla present or absent. Large acicular spines present on anterior setigers. Capillaries present in all parapodia; lyrate setae present anterior to capillaries of setigers 2, 3, or 4; some species with short, slender, blunt or pointed spinous setae anterior to capillaries of setigers 1, 2 or 3, representing homologues of lyrate setae. Pygidium with anal cirri." (Blake, 2015: 79). [details]Etymology Not stated. However, 'oligo' is few and 'bregma' is forehead. Assuming 'bregma' is included simply to link the genus to 'Scalibregma', the first described genus in the family, the authors were thus noting few of something in this genus, but it is not obvious what feature they are remarking on. Scalibregma is neuter so Oligobregma is neuter also, but contrarily the authors created or maintained feminine species-group endings for the species they newly included in the genus. [details]
Grammatical gender Neuter. Adjectival Oligobregma species-group names should be neuter, but authors of at least eight names have not realized this and instead used feminine species-group names. [details]
