Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Parasa was established as the objective replacement name for Neaera Herrich-Schäffer, [1854]. The two volumes of Horsfield & Moore's Catalogue were published with different title-pages; that of volume 1 was published as A Catalogue of the lepidopterous Insects in the Museum of the East-India Company, that of volume 2 as A Catalogue of the lepidopterous Insects in the Museum of natural History at the East-India House. The dates of publication of the two volumes were discussed and listed by Cowan, 1975, J. Soc. Biblphy nat. Hist. 7 (3): 273-284. PARASA was included within the subfamily ZYGAENOIDEA: LIMACODIDAE: LIMACODINAE by Epstein et al., in Kristensen (1999).
