Parallelia H�bner
Type
species: bistriaris H�bner,
U.S.A.
In the
strict sense this genus is monobasic, restricted to the N. American type
species, but the name has been applied much more widely in the past, as reviewed
by Holloway & Miller (2003). Holloway & Miller, when searching for
better generic placements for the species in this old concept of Parallelia,
were unable to find suitable genera for a small residue and suggested that these
should be retained for the time being in �Parallelia�. There
are three such in the Bornean fauna, as describe below. The characteristics of Parallelia
sensu stricto are described by Holloway & Miller (2003). Fibiger (2003)
listed some of the genera recognised by Holloway & Miller as distinct,
though he placed Macaldenia and Pindara Moore
as synonyms of Dysgonia H�bner. In the accompanying main text all such
genera were placed as synonyms of Dysgonia.
For reasons given by Holloway & Miller (2003), this broad concept of Dysgonia
is
not followed here.
