Bates (1881) described Tyrinthia macilenta based on at least two specimens from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro).

Martins & Galileo (2014a) figured Icimauna macilenta and commented (translated): “The redescription is based on the original description and a photograph of a specimen of the MNRJ [Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro]”; and “In the specimen figured in BEZARK (2012) [Bezark 2016] belonging to MNRJ, apparently only the antennomere III is widened and IV is normal, without setae on inner side. That antennal formula seems strange for Icimauna, but the placement [in genus] of the species only will be possible after examination of the syntypes.” Actually, the specimen figured is Eraninella longiscapus (Bates, 1881) and not Icimauna macilenta (Fig. 37).

The original description, as well as it not being possible to see if there is a distinct humeral carina in the syntype picture, does not allow validating I. macilenta in its current genus nor reassignment to another genus.
