From editor or global species database
Classification Blake (2000, 2017) included Protoaricia in Orbiniinae. Therefore Protoarciinae is a synonym of Orbiniinae, although not formally placed as such by Blake (2000, 2017). Also check 'Editor's comment' under Orbiniidae concerning the utility of past Orbiniidae subfamilies. [details]
