The erebid moth Eublemma pannonica (Freyer, 1840) is a distinctive species of the Pannonian region. The species-group name panonica Freyer, 1840 is an incorrect original spelling what needs a rectification. This spelling has been forgotten until its appearance in the catalogue compiled by Robert W. Poole in 1989 for noctuid names and it is again in use. The other original spelling pannonica Freyer, 1840 is the correct one, what was in general usage until 1989. On the basis of voluminous literature references these spellings are discussed. The name Eublemma panonica ronkayorum Fibiger, Zilli & Yela, 2010 is a junior homonym of Eublemma ronkayorum Fibiger & Hacker, 2002, therefore the replacement name, Eublemma pannonica ronkayi nomen novum is proposed for the junior taxon.
