Etymology Not stated in the original description. The name of the subgenus Protoaricia is composed by the Greek prefix proto-, meaning 'first', 'original', or 'primitive', followed by the name of the genus Aricia Savigny, 1822, and refers presumably to the supposed ancestry of the new subgenus in relation to its stem genus.
