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

Contents

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

This is now considered a monotypic genus with the species Syntomoides imaon (Cramer, [1779]): Syntomis godartii(Boisduval, 1829) is one of several synonyms. [3]
