- Euchlaena obtusaria (Hübner, [1813]) shows only slight genitalic differences and is not supported by DNA barcode as a separate species. Hugh McGuinness (in lit., 2023) suggests that obtusaria might just be a small form with the genitalic differences explained by allometry. Forbes, 1948:76) notes, "Hardly more than a race..."
