We examined and compared populations of Synargis nymphidioides (Butler, 1872) from the Pacific slope region in the Sierra Madre del Sur with others from the southern and eastern regions of Mexico. A new endemic subspecies from this region, Synargis nymphidioides praedictum ssp. nov., is described, listed and discussed too other taxa in this geographic area, making it a strong candidate for an endemism center. Such endemism center can predict other unpublished taxa characteristic from evergreen and subcaducifolious forests around the southern Sierra Madre.
