This species is very common throughout Tropical America. It varies in colour 
from bright yellow to greenish-brown, and some specimens are almost pink. In fact, 
we have every grade of colour between the specimens described by Guenée as Hypery- 
thra versatiliaria and Hiibner’s figure of Syrrhodia decrepitaria. The female appears 
to be subject to much greater variation than the male. The markings are almost 
constant in both sexes, but they are sometimes very faint. Specimens from the 
Antilles in my own collection show just the same variation as those from the main- 
land. The locality for Hyperythra mimasaria was unknown to Walker !?.

I have only seen two specimens of this insect from our region ; they agree well with 
others from Ecuador in my own collection. It is possible that S. pomona may prove 
to be inseparable from the Colombian S. directaria, Guen.
