| Memo: | Fletcher (1979) stated:- A junior homonym of Epicaste Kinberg, 1865, Ofvers. K. Vetensk. Akad. Förh. Stockh. 22: 247 - Vermes. There is no objective replacement name, but E. fenestrata is congeneric with [Phalaena] absinthiata Clerck, 1759, the type-species of Eupithecia Curtis, 1825. The latter is thus available as a subjective replacement name. See: EUPITHECIA Curtis, 1825 April 1.
