Abrostola Ochsenheimer, 1816
Phalaena triplasia Linnaeus, 1758
= Unca Oken, 1815: 689 (Included in a work rejected for nomenclatural purposes by ICZN, 1956, Opinion 417: 3)
= Habrostola Sodoffsky, 1837: 88 (An unjustified emendation of Ahrostola Ochsenheimer, 1816)
= Inguridia Butler, 1879: 354 (TS: Inguridia abrostolina Butler, 1879: 354)
= Unca Lhomme, [1929]: 321 (TS: Phalaena triplasia Linnaeus, 1758). Although Unca was attributed to Oken by Lhomme, this was the next published usage after Unca Oken, 1815, and so became nomenclaturally available. On page 115 of his catalogue, Lhomme stated that he was following Hampson’s classification, but Hampson, 1913: 582 used Abrostola Ochsenheimer for triplasia. However, in his personal interleaved copy Hampson had changed this to ‘Unca Oken’. It is probable that Lhomme was directly or indirectly through Joannis, in communication with Hampson, and was informed of the unpublished change. Unca Lhomme is a junior objective synonym of Abrostola Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Nye 1975).
