Abstract

We examined and compared populations of Synargis nymphidioides (Butler, 1872) from the Pacific slope region in the Sierra Madre del Sur with others from the southern and eastern regions of Mexico. A new endemic subspecies from this region, Synargis nymphidioides praedictum ssp. nov., is described, listed and discussed too other taxa in this geographic area, making it a strong candidate for an endemism center. Such endemism center can predict other unpublished taxa characteristic from evergreen and subcaducifolious forests around the southern Sierra Madre.
