Etymology author: "Araiotrachela is from the Greek: araios for narrow, thin; trachelos for neck. The name is suggested by the narrow neck-like region of the anterior end that precedes the enlarged, fusiform expanded section." Not stated whether to be considered adjectival or a noun in apposition. [details]
Taxonomy author: "There are many unusual features of Kirkegaardia araiotrachela n. sp. suggesting that a further evaluation of its generic status is warranted." [details]
