Sometimes people send me images of moths and/or their larvae from various countries. It is usually very helpful to know the collecting/sighting data as many species have specific ranges. Hopefully these provincial checklists, supported by Claude Lemaire's major Saturniidae works will help me and others with identifications.

I have not seen such checklists in Lemaire's publications, and the checklists are derived by going through his species accounts, one at a time.

I, William Oehlke, have added some interpolations, designated by my initials (WO). Please note, my interpolations are not confirmed and may or may not be present.

Dr. Lemaire's confirmed reports are indicated by his initials (CL). Additions beyond that will receive a special note. RF indicates a confirmation report by Reinhard Foerster. FP indicates a confirmation report by Fernando Penco. RB indicates a confirmation or new species by Ron Brechlin.

Many thanks also to Nigel Venters (NV), Nigel South and other collectors (Ezequiel Bustos (EB); Oz Rittner (OR)) in Argentina who are sending images and data.

Carlos Marzano (CM) has also sent data and images.

Ptiloscola cinerea (Ceratocampinae) flies in northern Argentina, but I do not know in which provinces, probably ones with Chaco habitat in the northeastern provinces.
