The same is quoted by Inoue, Kennett & Kitching in Moths of Thailand, volume 2, 1997, Sphingidae. p.35. but adds " Horsfield & Moore..........1: 266, nec Boisduval [as a syn. of Ambulyx substrigalis Westwood]".

The synonymy was undertaken by Kitching & Spitzer, 1995 :An annotated checklist of the Sphingidae of Vietnam, p.178. Tinea 14: 171-195.

Moth of Borneo, volume 3 was published prior to 1995, in 1987.
Quite right here. I happened to have the last volume of Moths of Borneo cotaining the Phaudidae , Himantopteridae & what is left over of Zygaenidae (a pity). It has an Anontated Checklist with the revised name.

Ambulyx moorei was named by Boisduval. Horsfield & Moore's revision placed Moore's name as the author of the revised taxon moorei.
Otherwise, Moorei cannot name a species after himself.
