Neominois carmen, the Joboni Satyr, is a species of butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. It is found in north-eastern Mexico, at least from the Maderas del Carmen in north-western Coahuila, to the area west of Linares in southern Nuevo León.[2] The habitat consists of open areas at the beginning of pine-oak woodland.
Adults have been recorded on wing from early June to late July, suggesting one generation per year.
The larvae probably feed on Piptochaetium and Bouteloua species.
Etymology
