Three additional names were attributed to Agrisius. A. plumbeonigra Swinhoe, 1916 (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) 18: 485) from Khasi Hills in Meghalaya, India; this name is probably a synonym of Baroa punctivaga (Walker, 1855). LepIndex (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/research/projects/lepindex/) cited two names in Agrisius that were described as A. griseilinea de Joannis, 1930; Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 98: 756-757, and A. strigibasis de Joannis, 1930; Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 98: 757-758, both from Cha pa (=Sa Pa), North Vietnam. However, such combinations are mistakes, because these names were described in another genera. The former has a mistake in a genus name abbreviation and should be read as Cyana, the second one was described in Asura. - V.V.Dubatolov, September, 8, 2012.
