Etymology The species name apricity is from the Latin apricitas, meaning the feeling of the warmth of the sun in winter, and is used as a noun in apposition. The name is chosen not only to honour the warmth of friendship and laughter, enjoyed in the winter sunshine in Łódź, Poland during the ISA SSKI Amphipod Workshop, but also the bringing to light and warmth from the cold abyssal depths of this new and interesting genus and species of lepechinellid.
