Embiidina Enderlein 1909:171

Original usage; Order of superorder Aetioptera

Notes. This is one of the more widely used names for this order. It is the more appropriate spelling of the name Embidina introduced by Hagen 1861 (and referred to by Enderlein (1903)), and the current use of this name might be most appropriately attributed to Hagen as it is by Ross (2000). The first use of this spelling, however, was by Enderlein (1909). Enderlein (1912) attributed the origin of the name (or this particular spelling of the name) to himself ( Enderlein 1903), but in that document he also used the spelling Embidina. In addition, and more importantly, both Hagen (1861) and Enderlein (1903) used the name at what would now be regarded as the family rank, not as an order. Therefore, Embiidina as an ordinal name is properly attributed to Enderlein (1909) as first pointed out by Engel & Grimaldi (2006).
