Etymology Not explicitly stated by the authors. The specific epithet parva is a Latin adjective meaning 'small' or 'little', and refers presumably to the small size of the species: "Mature individuals measure 3 to 4 mm long by 0.6 mm wide [...]. Aedicira parva differs from other species of the genus in its much smaller size [...]" (Hartman & Fauchald, 1971: 97-98). [details]
