| Abstract: | The Commission has ruled that the specific name Eterusia cingala Moore, 1877 is conserved for a common zygaenid moth pest of tea in Asia, the larvae of which are known as ‘tea slugs’. The older name Eterusia aedea septentrionicola Felder & Felder, 1862 is a senior subjective synonym of E. cingala, but has not been catalogued or used since 1862. The name E. cingala is conserved by the suppression of E. septentrionicola. |
