Aides dysoniGodman: Evans (1955), Cock (1982, no. 257), Cock (2003a)[mislabelled specimen]; Cock (2013b)[not a Trinidadspecies] Phanes tavola Schaus, 1902 Phanis tavolaSchaus: Schaus (1902)TL, Draudt (1921–1924) [ typelocality error] Phanis tavolaSchaus: Kaye (1940, no. 404a), Barcant (1970, no. 534) [based on TL], Cock (2013a)[not a Trinidadspecies] Evans (1955), and hence Cock (1982), treated the Trinidadsubspecies of Justinia justinianusas J. j. tavola, which was described from Trinidad( Schaus 1902). However, having examined the typespecimen, O.H.H. Mielke (in C.G.C. Mielke 1994) reported that tavolahad been misidentified by Evans (1955)and was another species - the one that Evans treated as Phanes hoffmanniBell, which is restricted to Braziland not found in Trinidad. Accordingly, Mielke concluded that the typespecimen of tavolamust have been incorrectly labelled as from Trinidad. Psoralis chittara( Schaus, 1902) Phlebodes chittaraSchaus: Schaus (1902)TL, Kaye (1940, no. 411a) [ typelocality error], Cock (2013a)[not a Trinidadspecies] Philibodes chittaraSchaus: Barcant (1970, no. 545) [misspelling of genus; typelocality error]
Schaus (1902)described this species from Trinidad, and Kaye (1940, no. 414A) added it to the Trinidadlist. Mielke (2004)finds that it is a Brazilian species, and that the typemust have been mislabelled ‘Trinidad’. Corticea noctis(Plötz, 1882)
Papias ctyanusSchaus: Schaus (1902)TL, Draudt (1921–1924), Kaye (1940, no. 414b), Barcant (1970, no. 552), Cock (1982, no. 171) [ typelocality error], Cock (2013a)[not a Trinidadspecies] Mielke (2004)considers that P. ctyanusis a synonym of Corticea noctisfrom southern Brazil, and that the Trinidadlocality label of the typeis an error.
Perichares deceptus(Butler and Druce, 1872) fulvimargo(Butler, 1873)
Perichares agrippaGodman: Kaye (1921, no. 449), Barcant (1970, no. 602) Perichares deceptus fulvimargo(Butler): Cock (1982, no. 215), Cock (2005)[not a Trinidadspecies] Callimormus radiola radiola(Mabille, 1878)
Callimormus radiola(Mabille): Williams and Bell (1931) Cock (2011)overlooked this record in his treatment of Callimormus. Since there have been no subsequent captures, it is considered unlikely to be a resident Trinidadspecies, and probably a misidentification for C. alsimo. Cobalopsis autumna(Plötz, 1882) Cobalopsis edda(Mabille): Kaye (1904, no. 258) [synonym; misidentification] Although Kaye (1904)included C. eddain his first list of butterflies, “a single specimen only in June 1898(W.J. Kaye)”, he did not include it in subsequent lists, so he probably concluded that this was a misidentification ( Cock 2012). Mnasitheus simplicissima(Herrich-Schäffer, 1870) Pamphila uniformis(Butler and Druce): Crowfoot (1893)[synonym]
Mnasalcus uniformis(Butler and Druce): Kaye (1914), Barcant (1970, no. 556) [synonym] Mnasitheus uniformis(Butler and Druce): Kaye (1921, no. 418), Draudt (1921–1924) [synonym] Mnasitheus simplicissima(Herrich-Schäffer): Kaye (1914), Draudt (1921–1924) I have seen no specimens of this species from Trinidad, and Evans (1955)does not report it from Venezuelaor the Guianas. The record of Mnasitheus simplicissimaby Williams and Bell (1931)from Port of Spain, 12 Jul 1927, was overlooked by Cock (2013a). However, the treatment by Godman and Salvin (1893–1901) in which the adult and male genitalia of Methionopsis inaare illustrated as Mnasitheus simplicissima( Evans 1955)indicates that all these records are probably in error for the common M. ina( Cock 2013a).
Wallengrenia otho(J.E. Smith, 1797) ophites(Mabille, 1878) Wallengrenia otho ophites(Mabille): Cock (2007) Although several authors, including Smith et al. (1994), Brévignon and Brévignon (2003)and Warren et al. (2014)have treated W. otho ophitesas a valid species, Mielke (2004)lists it as a subspecies of otho, and I have located no subsequent publication establishing the split into separate species. It is only known from Trinidadfrom a single specimen, and needs confirmation as a Trinidadtaxon ( Cock 2007). Given that this species is usually common in the Lesser Antilles, it seems unlikely that this is a Trinidadresident. Saliana chiomara(Hewitson, 1867) Thracides chiomara(Hewitson): Williams and Bell (1931) Evans (1955)transferred this species to Saliana. Williams and Bell (1931)recorded a male from Port of Spain, 12 Jul 1927. I have not seen this specimen and overlooked this record in Cock (2003a). Since S. chiomaraoccurs in the Guianas ( Evans 1955) and Venezuela( Bell 1946), there is no reason why it might not occur in Trinidad, nor a priorito doubt this record. On the other hand, there have been no further records, and this identification predates Evans (1955)revision and the description of several new species in this genus.
