Etymology Authors: Arenotrocha is from 'Arena' = sand (Latin) and 'trochus' = encirclement, ciliary ring (Greek). As the ending of 'trochus' is modified to 'trocha' the authors intended a feminine genus, also indicated by the use of 'minuta' [details]
Grammatical gender feminine as indicated by the genus suffix and type species suffix. [details]
