Etymology Not stated. The specific epithet arctius is a comparative degree of the Latin adjective arcte, meaning 'short' , 'thick', or 'narrow', and refers presumably to the shorter length of the species when compared with the genotype: "The present species is a less slender form than the genotype and consists of a much smaller number of somites,-seventy-five as against two hundred and six" (Chamberlin, 1920: 17B-18B).
