  Type data:

   Holotype MVMA adult ♀ (The Holotype and Paratype described by Paramonov (1950c) and supposedly placed in the NMV (Liepa 1969; Paramonov 1950c) have not been found, in any collection. The specimen ANIC29 003419 collected by Simson (SAM) was used as a basis for a redescription of Eupsilocephala singula (Mann 1928) and was examined by Paramonov and noted in his description of tasmanica Paramonov 1950). The identification of the species is not in question and therefore a neotype designation is unnecessary (Lambkin et al, 2005)), TAS: Tyenna.
