Type species: Paropheltes flavolineatus Cameron, 1907 . By monotypy.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Most species of this subgenus can be distinguished from other subgenera in having the combination of the following characters: occipital carina weak, present at least laterally; mesopleuron polished, minutely punctate; hind tarsal claw with pectens not extending beyond its apex; fore wing 1 cu-a slightly basad, opposite, or slightly or far distad to M &amp; RS; scutellum with lateral carina variable, from absent to extend to the apex. Konishi (1996 a) stated that the heterogeneous male genitalia structures of this subgenus cannot be use as diagnostic characters of this subgenus.</p><p>However, several species been classified within Paropheltes or other subgenera make the subgeneric boundary ambiguous: some specimens of N. (Paro.) fulginosa Konishi, 1996 has its occipital carina completely absent, which makes these specimens difficult to distinguish from species of subgenus Longiterebates; N. (N.) fulvator Delrio, 1971 has its scutellum with lateral carina only extending to 0.3 of its length and therefore could be confused with Paropheltes (as other members of subgenus Netelia have lateral carina of scutellum extending to the apex); some species have fore wing 1 cu-a opposite to M &amp; RS which can be confused with species of the subgenus Prosthodocis .</p><p>Species included.</p><p>This subgenus comprises 46 valid species (Bennett 2015). This study first reports this subgenus from Taiwan, comprising five species. Among them, there are four described species and one new species.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Worldwide, the genus comprises 11 species in the Nearctic, 26 in the Palearctic, six in the Oriental, five in the Afrotropical, and one in the Australasia regions (Bennett 2015; Yu et al. 2016). No species have been described from the Neotropical region (Bennett 2015).</p><p>Bionomics.</p><p>The species of this subgenus mainly use Geometridae, especially Eupithecia species, as host (Brischke 1880; Morley 1915). Host records from Drepanidae (Brischke 1880) and Gelechiidae (Aubert et al. 1984) were considered unreliable (Bennett 2015).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Townes (1939) subdivided this subgenus into five species groups: N. (Paro.) flavolineata, N. (Paro.) barberi, N. (Paro.) tarsata, N. (Paro.) radiata, and N. (Paro.) ciliata species groups. The classification was based on various morphological characters including the length of the lateral carina of the scutellum, the presence of the propodeal sublateral crest, the position of 1 cu-a and M &amp; RS, the margin of the pad, the length of the ovipositor, and the color pattern of the mesosoma. Subsequently, Kaur and Jonathan (1979) established two additional species groups, N. (Paro.) thomsoni and N. (Paro.) guptai species groups, based on the presence of a submarginal spine on the gonostyle, as well as the shape of the gonostyle and the characters of the pad and brace. Previous morphology-based phylogenetic studies (Coronado-Rivera 2009) have shown this subgenus to be polyphyletic, likely due to the highly heterogeneous morphology of the gonostyle. The COI phylogeny in this study (Fig. 5 B) also supports the polyphyly of this subgenus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3CADC9BEF2FC5AD6A749FA43DB316004	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A large color variation between the Taiwanese and Japanese specimens was observed, for instance, the mesopleuron is yellowish brown in Taiwanese specimens but with brown to blackish brown marking in Japanese specimens, and the frons is yellowish brown to brown in Taiwanese specimens but with distinct triangular brown marking in Japanese specimens.</p><p>In addition, the close distribution (Hokkaido vs. Kuril Islands and Primorsky Krai) and similar male genitalia of N. yui Konishi, 2000 and N. ermolenkoi Tolkanitz, 1981 (Tolkanitz 1999: 634, fig. 1) raising the possibility that N. yui could be a junior synonym of N. ermolenkoi . However, the structural distinctions in ocelli, fore wing vein, and body color pattern noted in the Diagnosis section above (Fig. 14), along with the possibility that the male specimens and female holotype of N. ermolenkoi may be mismatched (e. g., Kaur and Jonathan (1979) misidentified and incorrectly matched the male with N. (Apatagium) inaequalis (Uchida, 1934), a species known only from the female holotype), lead us to retain their status as separate species. Further studies, including broader sampling and DNA barcoding comparisons, are needed to clarify their taxonomic relationship.</p><p>The male genitalia of the holotype of N. (Paro.) brunea Konishi, 1996 a (= N. (Paro.) yui Konishi, 2000) were observed to be missing upon personal examination by the first author in 2023. It is possible that the male genitalia may have been corroded by potassium hydroxide during the preservation process of the specimen. However, the male genitalia and other morphology (e. g., complete occipital carina, lateral ocelli distanced from eyes) of the Taiwanese specimens align with the original description (Konishi, 1996 a). The Taiwanese specimens is thus considered to belong to this species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D6E1847F3E835F318A83A6742430190A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
