Aequigidiella is a monotypic genus of amphipod crustaceans. It contains only the species Aequigidiella aquilifera.[1] The genus name (Aequigidiella) derives from a combination of the words aequi for equal and Bogidiella for its taxonomic relatives. The species name (aquilifera) comes from the Latin name for a soldier that bears the eagle standard of a Roman legion and refers to structures which are flag-like on the male specimens.[2]
