Syntomoides Explained

Syntomoides is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by George Hampson in 1893.^[1]

The genus is often confused with Ceryx, because in 1898 Hampson used the name Ceryx for this moth, but there was already a genus Ceryx named by Hans Daniel Johan Wallengren in 1863.^[2]

Species

• Syntomoides godartii (Boisduval, 1829)
• Syntomoides imaon (Cramer, [1779])
