Hollmann-Schirrmacher (1998) was able to trace altogether 6 specimens
in international museums that were labeled as this species. However,
all of these specimens were misidentified and were in fact Philygria
femorata. The type specimen, however, of Ephydra interrupta could not
be localized by Hollmann-Schirrmacher in the museum in Dublin; it might
be lost. Thus, currently no genuine specimens of Philygria interrupta
are known to exist, and this species is therefore regarded as a species
dubia. Indeed, it might be regarded as a synonym of Philygria femorata.
