Leite, Luis Anderson Ribeiro, Fernando, Mielke, Hendrik & Martins, Mirna, 2012, An annotated list of Symmachia Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Riodinidae: Symmachiini) from Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor, Acre, Brazil, with the description of a new species, Insecta Mundi 2012 (249), pp. 1-11 : 8

Symmachia miron miron Grose-Smith, 1898

( Fig. 29-30 , 51)

A single specimen was collected in flight at 14:00h, four meters above the ground in a small clearing at the hilltop. The phenotype appears to be intermediate between the nominate subspecies described from Ecuador and the subspecies S. miron pulchellita Brévignon and Gallard, 1992 described from French Guiana. More material from PNSD and other Amazonian localities is needed to confirm the taxonomic status for this intermediate phenotype.
