by Rob de Vos

 

Paradromulia xylinopa (Meyrick, 1889)

hypochromaria (Warren, 1899)

Distribution

 

 

 

 

 

STATUS: This is a rather common species in New Guinea and widely distributed. It is however yet unclear if this species is conspecific with fuscimedia Warren, 1903 (male picture) and anomala Warren, 1898 (female picture). Both seem very similar and research of the genitalia should reveal this. In that case the name xylinopa has priority.

PAPUA LOCALITIES: Roon Island; New Guinea: Base Camp (Utakwa River), Fakfak, Pukusam, Sabron Camp (Cyclops), Uskwar, Utakwa River. Details in gazetteer.

EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION: Papua New Guinea.

DATA SOURCES: NHMUK.
