From editor or global species database
Classification Authors (2023) state "We tentatively assign the new species to genus Orbiniella due to possession of a broadly conical prostomium, bi-annulate peristomium, poorly developed parapodia, lack of furcate chaetae, no obvious division of body into thorax and abdomen, and no dorsal shift of parapodia." There is also molecular data. Subsequently Meca et al (2024: 80) report that "Orbiniella jamesi does not belong to Orbiniella due to the presence of branchiae, and also placed within the Scoloplos/Leitoscoloplos clade in a preliminary analysis of orbiniid phylogeny based on mitochondrial genome and nuclear data.
