Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:

Named after Lebinthus with the prefix “Julvern” corresponding to the contraction of Jules Verne (1828–1905). This famous French author wrote many adventure novels including “Around the world in eighty days”. Given that Eneopterinae have travelled around the world after originating from Australia-Antarctica ca. 80 Ma ago, it is an appropriate name for the first endemic genus “coming back” to Australia.
