Comment:
Concerning North American records, Pelham (2008:427) notes of Dyscophellus euribates (Stoll, 1782), "This species was recorded in 1872 from "Texas" as Eudamus hesus (Westwood, 1852) and has not been reported since. This species is remote geographically and a very unlikely candidate for a stray to texas. See: Scudder (1872c), Aaron (1890), Skinner (1911g), Skinner and Williams (1922), Neck (1996), Cassie et al. (2001), Opler and A. Warren (2002). All records from our area are unsubstantiated (see Lindsey et al. 1931). This species remains unknown from Mexico (Warren, 2000, 2002). Excluded from the list with its synonyms nicias (Fabricius, 1787), etias (Hewitson, 1867), gaurus (Plötz, 1882) and tychios (Plötz, 1882)"
Comment:
The Checklist of North American Butterflies, 2nd Edition (2001) lists this as a "Neotropical species dubiously reported to have occurred naturally in the United States"
