This swap is in need of reversing, please. Please see Moths of Borneo part 13, page 112, wherein Holloway specifically explains that many species previously associated with Lophoruza were transferred to the revived Eugnathia. Unfortunately, the online version of this part of MoB is seiously messed.
The updated checklist from 2012 lists all the Eugnathia spp found in Borneo - https://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-2/family-erebidae.php:

Eugnathia cithara Swinhoe (Part 13, p. 113). Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia. Lowland forest.
Eugnathia jugosa Swinhoe (Part 13, p. 113). India, Sundaland, Wallacea, Timor. No precise habitat data.
Eugnathia kuehi Holloway (Part 13, p. 114). Endemic. (Montane forest).
Eugnathia tamsi Roepke (Part 13, p. 114). Borneo, Sulawesi. (Disturbed lowland forest).
Eugnathia rosalba Holloway (Part 13, p. 115). Borneo, ?Philippines. (Lowland).
Eugnathia xenia Swinhoe (Part 13, p. 115). Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia. (Lowland forest).
Eugnathia lunifera Moore (Part 13, p. 116). Indian Subregion, Ryukyu Is., Java, Borneo, Sulawesi. (Lowland).
Eugnathia cheyi Holloway (Part 13, p. 116). Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia. (Secondary lowland forest).
Eugnathia pictipennis Hampson (Part 13, p. 117). S. India, Borneo, Sulawesi. (Lowland forest).
Eugnathia diagonalis Hampson (Part 13, p. 117). Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia. (Lowland).

o.k. - but it cannot be done in one step, apparently - there remain several true Lophoruza: In our observations: L. vacillatrix, and the not yet observed L. dasycara, viridicara, and perhaps more. Check needed for those not on Borneo list.

First problem.
Next: "Eugnathia kuehi Holloway" in above list (and of which we have observations) may spell kuehni (Holloway, 2009).

thx - that misspelling will be on the MoB website, as the above list was a direct c&p.....
Right - have checked in MoB 13: 114, original spelling is kuehi

Eugnathia needs removing from synonymy, but species not listed for Borneo retained for the time being in Lophoruza and moved as and when the correct combinations are traced.

Thanks for info - combinations restored insofar :-)
