Apotriophtydeus erebus (Strandtmann, 1967)

Tydeus erebus, original combination
Triophtydeus erebus, subsequent combination used by Baker (1970: 163)
Apotriophtydeus erebus, subsequent combination advanced by André (1980: 106). According to André (1980: 106), wilkesi differs from erebus by the number of eupathidia.

Tydeus wilkesi, subsequent combination used by Rounsevell (1978) who considers wilkesi as a senior synonym
