Species recognisable but genus assignment between Chaetozone/Caulleriella not well-settled due to current genera definitions on presence/absence of certain chaetal characters open to subjective interpretation. Original specimen was a single posterior fragment. Woodham & Chambers (1994) redescribed the species as in Caulleriella, based on the holotype fragment and further material from the Shetlands. Blake (1996:272) recommended transfer back to original Chaetozone, but Petersen (1999) appeared not to agree by keeping the species in Caulleriella.
