Taxonomic history
Originally described by A.E. Eaton in 1884 under the basionym Leptophlebia gregalis, this was subsequently transferred to Paraleptophlebia. The specific epithet 'gregalis' derives from Latin, meaning 'belonging to a flock or herd,' though the original description does not clarify the intended reference.
