Parasynegia fortilineata Holloway sp. n.
♂♂ 17-18mm. This species resembles lineata very closely except most fine fasciae are sharply delineated by dark brown and are thus much more apparent. There are minor but constant differences in the male genitalia: the juxta ‘horns’ are shorter, broader; the basal valve process is more irregular, crimped and the digitate one tapers rather than being apically spatulate; the scobination of the aedeagus vesica is restricted to the immediate vicinity of the apical spur rather than extending half way to the cluster of spicules.
