Falck (2023: 660) erklärt: "The species is named after the small-town Moya situated near the type-locality."
3.2. Taxonomie
Falck (2023: 660)informiert: "DNA barcodes (Figure 54): Three specimens were sequenced, resulting in DNA barcode fragments of 648 bp for all three specimens. The barcodes fall within Barcode Index Number (BIN) BOLD: AEG7006. The maximum intraspecific distance is 0.16%. The minimum p-distance to nearest neighbour S. petrella is 3.84%. Diagnosis: S. moyaella resembles S. solisella, S. guimarensis and S. linealbella. It can be distinguished from S. guimarensis and S. linealbella by the brown ground-colour and the yellowish white wing pattern. It is not possible to separate S. moyaella and S. solisella without genitalia dissection or barcoding."
