Etymology Arabella is a female personal name in use at the time Grube was writing, and in use in Europe since at least the middle ages. The spelling is thought to be ultimately from Celtic. The first high-profile English bearer of the name was royal claimant Arabella Stuart (1575–1615) [fide Wikipedia]. [details]

Taxonomy McIntosh 1903) is one of the first to use the combination Arabella iricolor and treat various other names as its synonyms. Earlier, subsequent to the undetailed creation of the genus by Grube, Ehlers (1864:398) had adopted Arabella as valid, based on Lumbriconereis quadristriata Grube, of which he then described specimens which he thought matched the original account of Grube (1840) [details]

Etymology Arabella is a female personal name in use at the time Grube was writing, and in use in Europe since at least the middle ages. The spelling is thought to be ultimately from Celtic. The first high-profile English bearer of the name was royal claimant Arabella Stuart (1575–1615) [fide Wikipedia]. [details]Grammatical gender Arabella is feminine as it derives from a female given name. All the adjectival species-group names in Arabella correctly have feminine endings. [details]
Homonymy Arabella Grube, 1850 is a senior generic homonym to Arabella Robineau-Desvoidy 1863: 88 in Diptera (Insecta), Histoire naturelle des diptères des environs de Paris, volume 2, https://doi.org/10.5962/bhl.title.8550 [details]
Taxonomy McIntosh 1903) is one of the first to use the combination Arabella iricolor and treat various other names as its synonyms. Earlier, subsequent to the undetailed creation of the genus by Grube, Ehlers (1864:398) had adopted Arabella as valid, based on Lumbriconereis quadristriata Grube, of which he then described specimens which he thought matched the original account of Grube (1840) [details]
Type designation Grube (1850: 293) assigned Lumbriconereis quadristriata Grube, 1840, Gulf of Naples, and Oenone maculata Milne Edwards, 1836, France unspecified, to Arabella when he introduced the genus name. Only these two species Grube first included can be subsequently designated as type species of Arabella (Code article 67.2). Nereis iricolor Montagu, 1804 (currently Arabella iricolor), the senior name currently in the genus, CANNOT be the type species of Arabella, as Grube gives no mention of it. However, in the past it is invariably wrongly stated to be the type species, probably influenced by the Hartman Catalogue (1959: 339) where it is stated to be the genotype (it was Hartman's practice to name senior synonyms as 'genotype' instead of the actual type species, but the current Code expressly states this practice should not occur. ) [details]
