From editor or global species database
Diagnosis recognizable for the presence of four abdominal chaetigers, epidermal emergent spicules on the epithelium surface, and peristomial spermathecae in females. [details]

Etymology The authors state: The name refers to the emergent spicules("echino"} in a fabriciid ("fabricia"); gender masculine." However, the genus gender must be feminine as Fabricia is feminine. These authors also did not adjust to masculine the prior feminine names of 'alata' and 'dubia' of Hartmann-Schröder that they recombined [details]

Grammatical gender Feminine. "Fabricia" names are by long usage feminine although Huang et al mistakenly claim their genus is masculine. [details]
