Talk:Arbitan (species)

Arbitan?
If a valid source gives us the name "Arbitans" for the species, then why don't we use that — Arbitan (species) — instead of giving our own, conjectural title to them? Sure, it was probably an error on part of whomever wrote The Fishmen of Kandalinga, but it's all we've got. Besides, this isn't the first time a species is retroactively given the name of a prominent individual. -- SOTO ( ☎ / ✍ \ ♆ ) 00:15, March 6, 2014 (UTC)
