The short original description suggests that the name belongs to a species from the sulcata/sulcatella/sulcatina group, but it cannot be identified with either of the three species. Some authors synonymize it with the present species (and thus this dubious name becomes the valid name for the species), but I regard it as a synonym of the oldest name in this group (i.e. Rhamphomyia sulcata), because then this nomen dubium becomes a junior synonym and does not threat any well-defined names. I believe that this serves nomenclatural stability best.
