Etymology Uncertain, original description not conferred. The specific epithet dicrochaeta seems to be composed by the prefix of Greek origin dicro, meaning 'two-coloured', and the Greek noun chaeta, meaning 'bristle', and refers presumably to the colour of the chaetae and their presumed properties of splitting the visible light into distinct beams of different wavelengths (or colours).
