Markku,

First, huge thanks for maintaining your wonderful website! There is 
nothing else like it, it is really convenient, and speeds up research 
linking names to publications. Much grateful.

Pictures show *Tambana catocalina* Moore, 1882.

The text references *Trisuloides catocalina* Moore, 1883,
but gives *Trisuloides polyphaenaria* Warren, 1912 as its synonym,
which is a synonym of *Tambana catocalina* Moore, 1882 instead.

Therefore, "1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883: 17" is probably a *lapsus 
calami*.

If this is so, then the type species of *Antitrisuloides* is
*Tambana catocalina* Moore, 1882 and
NOT *Trisuloides catocalina* Moore, 1883

An alternative interpretation could be "misidentified type species",
check out Art. 70.3.
