Subfamily Plusiinae Boisduval

Genus Abrostola Ochsenheimer, 1816: 88

Type species: Phalaena triplasia Linnaeus, 1758: 517 , by subsequent designation by Duponchel, in Godart & Duponchel, 1829: 72

= 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probable that Lhomme was directly or indirectly through Joannis, in communication with Hampson, and was informed of the unpublished change.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).

= Trigeminostola Beck, [1992] 1991: 222 (TS: Noctua trigemina Werneburg, 1864: 308 )

= Asclepistola Beck, [1992] 1991: 223 (TS: Noctua asclepiadis [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775: 91)
