Etymology Not stated. The tibia is the shin bone of animals and there are Latin words relating to its post-mortem use as a pipe or as a flute. For example a Tibicina is a female flute player. We can speculate that Lamarck created or adapted Tibiana as a Latin diminutive word for tube. [details]

Classification Tibiana Lamarck, 1816 is not a "zoophyte" (Cnidarian) as originally believed. It was found to be the zig-zag tubes of Eunice spp. [details]Etymology Not stated. The tibia is the shin bone of animals and there are Latin words relating to its post-mortem use as a pipe or as a flute. For example a Tibicina is a female flute player. We can speculate that Lamarck created or adapted Tibiana as a Latin diminutive word for tube. [details]
