Epistrophe flava Doczkal et Schmid, 1994 (p. 13)
Epistrophe melanostomoides auct. nec Strobl, 1880 (misidentification)
Epistrophe ochrostoma auct. nec Zetterstedt, 1849 (misidentification)

Note: the existence of a large species of Epistrophe in Europe with an entirely yellow mouth area has been known for a long time, but the names attributed to that species (Epistrophe melanostomoides and Epistrophe ochrostoma) were all incorrect (Epistrophe melanostomoides is a synonym of Epistrophe melanostoma and Epistrophe ochrostoma is an entirely different species). Thus, this species did not have a proper name until 1994 when Doczkal and Schmid (1994) named this species Epistrophe flava.
