Synonyms

• Phalaena orsa Cramer, [1777] (Original combination)
• Ecpantheria orsa; Hampson, 1901: 381
• Hypercompe orsa; Watson & Goodger, 1986: 30; Vincent & Laguerre, 2014: 403.

• Note: In the absence of type, Laguerre (2023) did not address this species to allocate it to one subgenus of Hypercompe: Hypercompe, or Pseudocompe. It is taken here as Hypercompe sensu lato, waiting for a possible inclusion in a subgenus in future.
