Chaetozone setosa Malmgren,1867 is commonly recorded as present in soft sediments from the intertidal zone to the deep sea from many localites world-wide. The genus was not described by Malmgren when he published the description of Chaetozone n. gen. and setosa n. sp. Later authors have attempted definitions (Fauvel, 1927; Hartman, 1961; Day, 1967) using a variety of characters. The publication of new species of Chaetozone (Woodham & Chambers, 1994) highlight the need for a re-examination of the type species of the genus. Malmgren's type material has been examined and redescribed.
