I should have included some links in my original message (Moths of 
Borneo is online):

That could be, but in the two papers (only abstracts available free, 
Research Gate gives the latter, though) the treat both species

    Behounek, Han & Kononenko, 2011: Zootaxa 3069 : 1-25

       Trisuloides catocalina -> Trisuloides

    Behounek & Kononenko, 2011:  Zootaxa 3108 : 41-52

       Tambana catocalina -> Antitrisuloides

which I followed on my site (but, my checking scripts started to 
complain about misplaced type species), and thus my question. I'm not 
expert enough to sort this out, conserning all the other species
