It is named in honor of Dr. A. S. Corbet, to whom Eliot had sent the specimen before World War II, "in admiration of his researches on Malayan butterflies and in memory of his unfailing kindness and encouragement."[2] Corbet had initially identified it as Allotinus dilutus (now Allotinus unicolor dilutus), presumably on the basis of its small size.[2]
