Classification Hartman (1942) had replaced Ariciidae with Orbiniidae. However, reportedly (not seen) Aricia was placed in the Ariciidae as late as 1969 in Fishelson, L. & F. Rullier (1969). [details]
Etymology Not stated. Aricia is a Greek town, a location holy to Diana (equated with Artemis), near Rome. However, in literary works there is tradition, perhaps mistaken, placing a female Aricia as a consort of Hippolytus. Aricia is also a female character in Jean Racine's Phèdre, a play first performed in 1677. It seems safe to assume Aricia as used by Savigny was regarded as female by him and contemporaries. [details]
Grammatical gender Feminine. While perhaps mistakenly thought to be a female given name, nevertheless Savigny seems to indicate he intended it to be feminine by his usage of the adjectival form 'sertulata' [details]
Homonymy There are several Aricia homonyms around this period. The senior and valid name is Aricia Reichenbach, 1817, a genus of butterfly in family Lycaenidae, Insecta, Lepidotera. [Jenaische Allg. Lit. Zeitung, Jena, 14(1): 280]. Quatrefages created Orbinia with type species, Aricia sertulata, the type species of Aricia, but he acted idiosyncratically (and wrongly - see the discussion of this act by Pettibone (1957:159)), not because of the homonymy, which he was unaware of. Nevertheless Orbinia has later replaced Aricia. Hartman (1936) first indicated in a listing that Orbinia nuda (Moore) should be Aricia nuda Moore, 1911, but did not further state the wider consequences. In 1942 she then formally replaced Aricia with Orbinia, renaming the family. See Orbinia for further explanation. [details]
Type species Aricia sertulata Savigny. See Orbinia for comments on it also being type species of Orbinia [details]
