Semidonta nigribasis dentata , Schintlmeister World Catalogue of Notodontidae, considered as a subspecies of nigribasis
Lepindex considers this as a valid species
The MOI website needs to be updated for Hyperaeschrella nigribasis, as it is now revised to Semidonta nigribasis vide Lepindex , & iNat.

RR: Originally described as Semidonta dentata Hampson, 1892 (later also cited as Hyperaeschrella dentata), this taxon was revised by Schintlmeister (1994), who placed it as a synonym of Semidonta nigribasis based on genitalia characters. This treatment is followed by Schintlmeister & Lourens (2010) and Moths of Borneo (Holloway, 1983–2011). While some databases (GBIF, LepIndex, Funet) still show both names, the current consensus recognizes dentata only as a synonym of nigribasis.

Notes. Schintlmeister (2008: 333) treated Hyperaeschrella as a synonym of Semidonta. But this treatment is wrong according to the molecular analysis (Kobayashi & Nonaka, 2016: 35), and they revived Hyperaeschrellare as a good genus. So MOI treatment is good. Yet to review the species.
