Not sure if this is the valid name.Originally Posted by Painted Jezebel
Moth of Borneo list this sepcies as A. subocellata westwood 1847 but made no mention of A. moorei in the text (including under A. substrigilis).
Funet put subocellata 1874, as a junior synonym of moorei 1858, quoting Moore as the author of his own name ( contravening ICZN rule).
Lepindex put moorei 1858 as a synonym of subocellata in error quoting Butler as the author of moorei.
It however, also place moorei 1858 Boisduval as a synonym od A. substrigilis 1874 Westwood.
Boisduval is the correct author of A. moorei 1858 which is a synonym of A. substrigilis(possibly a variety by some).
I don't think A. moorei have been upgraded to a full species from A. substrigilis (thereby creating a new species absent from the Bornean list).

A helpful feature of T. nessus is the pale patch on FW apex & the pinky abdominal sides.
