Remark
. The female
syntype
of
Miltochrista parameia
clearly belongs to
B. maculifasciata
. To avoid a probable confusion in the future, here we designate the male specimen as
lectotype
(
Fig. 28
).
Diagnosis
. Forewing length is
13.5–15 mm
in males and
18 mm
in females.
Barsine parameia
is a closest relative of
B. maculifasciata
. Externally, it differs from
B. maculifasciata
by its broader and diffuse longitudinal strokes on veins in the submarginal areas of both wings, which are merged into broad blackish shades with thin white strokes between veins. The male genitalia of
B. parameia
are very similar to those of
B. maculifasciata
, but differ by their broader uncus, broader valva and slightly longer cluster of cornuti in vesica. The female genitalia of
B. parameia
can be distinguished from those of
B. maculifasciata
by their narrower lateral lobes of antrum, slightly broader anterior part of antrum and smaller appendix bursae.
