Ancients => Zeus & Pan

I am trying to attribute this Triobol, and once again I am very confused and need help here;
According to acsearch:
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=760001

it is from ARKADIA, Arkadian League. Circa 175-168 BC.

However, the Arkadian League at the latest had vanished by the 230s BC, as the Arcadian cities joined the Achaean League (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Arcadian_League)

What am I missing? If the Arkadian league had already vanished, why is it still attributed to the Arkadian League?

This is the AR Triobol, anepigraphic issue:

14 x 15 mm, 2.27 g
Ref.: Dengate Period III, 1-7; BCD Peloponnesos (Megalopolis) 1548-9; HGC 5, 932.

Ob.: Laureate head of Zeus left;
Rev.: Pan seated left on rock, raising right hand, holding logobolon in left; to left, eagle with wings spread

This coinage is cataloged according to Alan Walker's magnificent catalog of BCD's collection. The issues of Magalopolis in this period are sometimes given to the Arkadian League, sometimes to the Achean league.

On page 367 he says the coinage of Megalopolis "seems to have alternated between triobols of the Arkadian League type ... with added eagle ... and the usual hemidrachms of the Achaean League". He says the arrangement is from J. A. Dengate ["The Triobols of Megalopolis" in ANS Museum Notes (1967) p. 51-110, but the dates are from [Margaret] Thompson "The Agrinion Hoard".

BCD #1542-1544 he calls "Archaen League types, c. 175-168". BCD #1545-1549 he calls "Arcadian League Types, Dengate Periods IIB and II, c.175-168". BCD #1550-1551 he calls "Achaean League types, c. 160-146"

Coins with the wreath he calls Achaen and the coins with Pan on Rock he calls Arcadian. I don't have Dengate or Thompson. If you are still curious you can look there next.
