3.1. Etymologie (Namenserklärung)
Falck (2023: 659) erklärt: "The species is named after the small town Arona situated near the type-locality."
3.2. Taxonomie
Falck (2023: 659)informiert: "posterior apophysis; sternum VIII sub-rectangular, posterior margin with a hardly visible median fissure, anterior margin with an irregular U-shaped indentation; sternum VII sub-rectangular, posterior margin with deep median fissure with heavily sclerotized edge, anterior margin with sclerotized V-shaped median structure; tergum VII sub-rectangular, anterior margin with lateral concavity. DNA barcodes (Figure 54): Four specimens were sequenced, resulting in 658 bp, full length DNA barcode fragments for two specimens, and fragments of 637 bp and 621 bp for two specimens. The barcodes fall within Barcode Index Number (BIN) BOLD: AEC3980. The maximum intraspecific distance is 0.83%. The minimum p-distance to nearest neighbour S. petrella is 1.12%. Diagnosis: The incomplete outwardly oblique inner fascia is characteristic and separates S. aronaella from most other members of the petrella-group, with the exception of S. brithae, where examination of the genitalia or barcoding is necessary to make a safe determination."
