Hi,

I'm getting confused with conflicting information

Originally, Holloway, 1985  (Moths of Borneo 14 p. 302) reads

   Trisuloides catocalina Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883: 17

However, then come

   Behounek, Han & Kononenko, 2011
       A revision of the genus Trisuloides Butler, 1881 with 
descriptions of three new species from China (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). 
Revision of Pantheinae, contribution I
       Zootaxa 3069 : 1-25

where they on p. 4 restore "Trisuloides catocalina Moore, 1883" back to 
Trisuloides, making Antitrisuloides a syn. of Trisuloides.

and in
    Behounek & Kononenko, 2011
    A review of the genera Elydnodes Hampson, 1913 and Antitrisuloides 
Holloway, 1985 with description of two new species (Lepidoptera, 
Noctuidae). Revision of Pantheinae, contribution III
    Zootaxa 3108 : 41-52

where they on p. 45 claim the type of Antitrisuloides to be

   Tambana catocalina Moore, 1882, Descriptions of new Indian 
Lepidopterous Insects from the Collection of the Late Mr. W.S.
Atkinson: 156

So, which is it, and if not "Trisuloides catocalina Moore, 1883", then 
why it is not?
