Meyrick, 1939
is a junior subjective synonym of
Eccopsis incultana
Walker, 1863
, synonymized by
Diakonoff (1981: 16)
. The third specimen was supposed to be in BMNH, however, it was not found there (K. Tuck, pers. comm.).
Brown (2005: 269)
states that the
holotype
is in
RMCA
. Meyrick deposited
one male
and
one female
specimen in the collection of
RMCA
.
In
his paper (1939: 51), he indicated "Type in Congo Museum, Tervueren,
Belgium
" but he labelled both specimens as type.
Diakonoff (1981: 16)
, acting as first revisor, selected the female as the
holotype
(recte
lectotype
)
.
