Synchlora gerularia (Hübner,
1823). [7060.1]

Synchlora gerularia,
collection of Carnegie Museum of Natural
History.
Specimen collected
January 1995, Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico.
|
| In size and wing markings, this species very closely
resembles Synchlora xysteraria. These two species can be most
reliably distinguished by dissection of male gentialia, which Ferguson
figures in his 1985 MONA fascicle. Synchlora gerularia is a species of
the tropics and is reported to extend as far south as Argentina.
Ferguson reported that confirmed US records exist only for Texas. (Synchlora
xysteraria, in contrast, is known from Florida in the US and
from the Bahamas) |
