Naarda xanthonephra Turner, 1908 was described from two specimens; the holotype in the DEMV and a paratype in Turner's collection (now in the ANIC). The paratype, as was Turner's practice, was unlabelled although he labelled holotypes or one of a syntypic series. Turner must later have confused the identification labels in his collection using that of N. xanthonephra Turner for one of the undescribed species. He then redescribed Naarda coelopis Turner, 1936 using as holotype the paratype of N. xanthonephra Turner)
