  • Eudarcia eunitariaeella (Chambers, 1873) was originally described on p. 85 of The Canadian Entomologist, vol. 5. Subsequently on p. 110 of the same work, Chambers added a correction note. “For T. eunitaraeella [note: misspelling (lapsus calami) of eunitariaeella], ante p. 85, read T. coemeteriiella.” Davis (in Hodges et al. 1983) (Checklist) included as synonyms of eunitariaeella, the names "eunitaraeella Cham., 1873, missp.” and "coemeteriiella Cham., 1873, emend.” Pohl (in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023) (Checklist) omitted these synonyms but did erroneously include “coemeteriella”.
