Etymology The name of the genus is composed by the Latin noun aurum, meaning 'gold', and the name of the genus Spio Fabricius, 1785, the name of the nereid of the sea caves, a nymph in the Greek mythology, and refers to the golden color of the pigmented inclusions present in the first setiger of many specimens of the type species of the new genus.
