Barsine parameia (Rothschild, 1913), comb. n.

(Figs 28–30, 162, 230)

Miltochrista parameia Rothschild, 1913, Novitates zoologicae, 20: 214 (Type locality: “Mauson Mountains, Tonkin, 2300 meters”).

Type material examined. Lectotype (designated herein) (Fig. 28): ♂, printed label “ Tonkin, Montes Mauson, April, May, 2–3000’, H. Fruhstorfer ” / red handwritten label “ Miltochrista parameia Type Rothsch.” / printed label “Rothschild Bequest B.M. 1939-I ” / label with QR-code “NHMUK010604457” (Coll. NHMUK).

Other material examined. 2 ♀, S Vietnam, Da Lat, Datan La, 1380 m, 11°54’10.6’’N 108°26’0.59’’E, 29.IX.2013, leg. K. Černý, slide AV2769 ♂ Volynkin (Coll. CKC) ; 2 ♂, same locality and collector, ♀ 29.IX.2013, ex ovo, slide AV2768 ♂ Volynkin (Coll. CKC) .

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.

Distribution. Vietnam.
