Rothkirch (1912) listed Conognatha carinata (Mannerheim) and C. vulnerata (Perty) as synonyms of C. macleayi (Donovan) . C. vulnerata was revalidated, including C. carinata as its junior synonym by Hoscheck (1934). C. vulnerata (including its synonym C. carinata ) was synonymized under C. macleayi by Moore & Lander (2010).
