Synpalamides fabricii (Swainson, 1823)

Comments.

Moraes and Duarte (2014) synonymized the genus Hista Oiticica, 1955 with Synpalamides Hübner, [1823], an arrangement that we follow for now. This species is almost exclusively found in south-southeast Brazil, where it is usually on the wing from December to February in areas of Atlantic Forest (Moraes et al. 2010; Penco 2011). Very little is known about its biology, but its larvae are known to feed on Tillandsia aeronthos (Loisel.) L.B. Sm. ( Bromeliaceae) (Enslen 1920; Biezanko 1961).
