Eupomplyx marmoratus Jan, 1857, Cenni Mus. Civ. Milano: 54. Type(s): MSNM. Type locality: "Georgia", USA. Nomen nudum attributed to Tschudi and Fitzinger, presumably on the basis of jar label names. Presumed to be in this synonymy on the basis of the similarity of orthography with Eupemphix marmoratus Steindachner, 1864 (DRF).
