Taxonomic history
The Evita was erected by Capps in 1943 to accommodate this single , which was originally described under a different genus by Grossbeck in 1908. The specific epithet 'hyalinaria' likely refers to hyaline (glass-like or transparent) wing characteristics, though this has not been formally documented.
