  • Anapisa metarctioides Hampson, 1907

Note, the original spelling is Apisa metarctiodes Hampson, 1907, repeated as Apisa metarctiodes (Hampson, 1907) in Hampson, 1914 (and same on plate for fig. 26). Therefore any later adoption of the name as "metarctioides" [with extra i] seems to be an unjustified subsequent spelling.
