Nielsen, E.S., Edwards, E.D. & Rangsi, T.V. (eds) 1996. Checklist of the Lepidoptera of Australia. Monographs on Australian Lepidoptera. Collingwood : CSIRO Publishing Vol. 4 xiv 529 pp. & CD-ROM. [378: Note #706] (Condica sublucens (Warren, 1912). Warren (1912c) described Prospalta sublucens Warren, 1912, from a series of specimens specifying the holotype as a specimen from the Burdekin River, Queensland. Warren (1937) again described Prospalta sublucens Warren, 1937, but cited only specimens from India. P. sublucens Warren, 1937 is thus a junior primary homonym but not a junior subjective synonym of P. sublucens Warren, 1912. Note #707: Condica definita (Warren, 1937). Warren (1937) described Prospalta definita Warren from two specimens: one from the Burdekin River, Queensland and one from Astrolabe Bay, New Guinea. He specified the Astrolabe Bay specimen as the holotype of P. definita Warren. The Burdekin River specimen was the holotype of P. sublucens Warren, 1912. P. definita Warren is a junior subjective synonym of P. sublucens Warren, 1912)
