Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Quatrefages (1866: 288): "Tête portant 5 très-petites antennes et des yeux peu distincts. Le reste comme dans le genre précédent [i.e. Scoloplos]. Caput antennulis minimus 5 et oculis parum distinctis instructum. Caetera uti apud Aricias." [details]
Etymology Not stated in the original description. Orbinia is a female personal name from ancient Rome. For example a book on the Vestal Virgin priestesses states that "one of the vestal virgins who looked after the eternal fire, Orbinia by name, had lost her virginity ..." Her punishment when this was discovered was to be beaten and buried alive. [from R.L. Wildfang (2006) "Rome's vestal virgins"] . The name cannot be also related to the near contemporary French naturalist Alcide d'Orbigny, owing to the distinct spelling difference. However d'Orbigny coincidentally had collected Savigny's museum specimen of Aricia sertulata, the type species of Orbinia. [details]
Grammatical gender Feminine. Orbinia is a female personal name from ancient Rome. Where adjectival species epithets have been used in Orbinia authors have used feminine endings, starting with Quatrefages and Orbinia sertulata. [details]
Type species Hartman (1957: 256) states O. cuvieri as Aricia sertulata was the first species attributed to Aricia Savigny, and that thus "the genotype of Orbinia can be only O. cuvieri". This is not correct. Aricia sertulata is for all time the type species of Orbinia by monotypy (Quatrefages placed only Aricia sertulata in his new genus Orbinia), regardless if a later worker synonymises it (here A. sertulata is in any case the senior name). Synonymy is subjective and can change, type species are permanently decided by circumstances.
It appears Quatrefages did not know Aricia was a junior homonym as he (quite wrongly) continued Aricia for other species. Pettibone (1957: 159) comments on the confusion and correctly states Quatrefages by present day practice should have done the opposite - place the other names under Orbinia and left A sertulata, which Savigny (wrongly) stated had small antennae, in Aricia. [details]Unreviewed
