(Lucas)

Rekoa zebina
is a Central American species that resembles
R. marius
and
R. stagira
(Hewitson) (
Robbins 1991
)
.
Kaye’s (1940)
original report was based on
two specimens
collected by F.W. Jackson (St Joseph
5.iv.1922
; Balata Hill
28.iii.1922
) but these have not been located in BMNH (main sequence) or OMNH. The series in Barcant’s collection appears to comprise seven
R. marius
and two
R. stagira
, but the specimen illustrated (
Barcant 1970
, plate 28.24) is not in his collection now.

Rekoa stagira

Thecla stagira

,
D’Abrera (1995

),
Sookdeo (2013)
,
Warren et al. (2015)
S. voltinia
is a synonym of
Kolana ergina
(Hewitson) (
Robbins 2004
)
, and we assume that represents
Kaye’s (1921)
use of the name. In his collection, Barcant curated what appear to be four
Rekoa stagira
and five
R. marius
as
Siderus voltinia
. The specimen illustrated (
Barcant 1970
, plate 28.24) is a male
R. stagira
in his collection.
