Just wrong parent I think - cf. IRMNG homonymy at genus level:
https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxlist&searchpar=0&tComp=is&tName=Eulalia&genera_only=on&rComp=%3D&tRank=180&action=search
gives
Eulalia Kunth, 1829 [Family: Poaceae]
Eulalia Meigen, 1800 (unaccepted) [Family: Stratiomyidae]
Eulalia Savigny, 1822 [Family: Phyllodocidae]

[TonyRees]

Aha, also at species level in IRMNG (on this occasion):
The animal (Polychaeta: Phyllodocidae): Eulalia aurea Gravier, 1896
The plant (Angiospermae: Poaceae): Eulalia aurea Kunth

The above appear on my incomplete list of species level synonyms, the subset beginning with "E" (genus) here:

OK, my list needs some work - for species it is simply showing items with different stated authorities, which are sometimes a source DB issue. One upon a time I pruned the list to only show binomens in actually different genera, which is a lot shorter, however that tweak seems to have vanished somewhere along the way leading to some list bloat. Nevertheless, true synonyms will be there, to the extent that I hold species names in IRMNG (which is only for around 50% of genera, plus the holdings are somewhat out-of-date, by 10 years or more).
