Etymology The genus is named after W.H. Dawbin, field collector responsibe for collecting the type material: "In the present collection only one species not hitherto recorded was gathered, and it has been necessary to found a new genus for this little creature, which belongs to a family of which only one, or perhaps two, species has hitherto been described. I have named it after Mr. Dawbin, as assiduous and keen-eyed zoologist who was responsible for the majority of the Polychaeta collected. [...] Hence the worm requires new generic title, and what better name can be suggested than that of its discoverer, Mr. W. H. Dawbin." (Benham, 1950: 3, 16). [details]
